Back the VST3 plugin factory by an IPtr

This prevents REAPER from crashing when removing the last instance of a
plugin and then readding it. REAPER doesn't unload the module even after
it removes its last plugin factory instance. This means that before this
the plugin factory would be freed but we still had a seemingly valid
pointer to it that we would try to access.
