Move the |ElevatedDaemonController| implementation to |DaemonControllerDelegateWin|

Changes in this CL include:
1. Moved the daemon controller implemetation from |ElevatedDaemonController| to |DaemonControllerDelegateWin|
2. Removed all code related to COM activation in |DaemonControllerDelegateWin|.
3. Removed code related to SetOwnerWindow in |DaemonControllerDelegateWin|.
4. Removed code related to the pin confirmation dialog in |DaemonControllerDelegateWin|
5. Cleaned up the COM-styled code to make it adhere to the chromium coding styles.

BUG=453172
