Nathan Froyd 84aa0abd27 Bug 1142544 - delete now-unnecessary |extern "C++"| block from nsISupportsUtils.h; r=mccr8
We have blatant C++ code later on in the file; whatever C file(s) were
including nsISupportsUtils.h are now a distant memory.

* Often you have to cast an implementation pointer, e.g., |this|, to an

(* static_cast<nsIBase*>(this))|, but that is bulky and harder to read...
