Both WinHttpHandler and WinHttpWebSocket use pinned buffers for receiving and sending data. The pinned GCHandle was being freed during the dispose of the WinHttpHandler or WinHttpWebSocket objects. The problem is that the buffer should not be unpinned until the async operation is done. It's possible for any async operation to be in flight (and where native code uses the buffer) when the object is explicitly or implicitly disposed.
This fix moves the ownership of the pinned GCHandle to their respective state objects (WinHttRequestState, WinHttpWebSocketState). These objects are strongly rooted and are not released until all async operations are completed and the WinHTTP handles are fully closed. That makes these state objects a safe place to own and free the pinned buffers.
Fixes #2508 and #6142
