midl invokes the compiler on .idl files with /E. Before this change, we
would treat unrecognized inputs as object files. Now we pre-process to
stdout as expected. I checked that MSVC defines __cplusplus when invoked
this way, so treating the input as C++ seems like the right thing to do.
After this change, I was able to run midl like this with clang-cl:
$ midl -cpp_cmd clang-cl.exe foo.idl
Things worked for the example IDL file in the Microsoft documentation,
but beyond that, I don't know if this will work well.
