Even though the file is pure C code, it's useful to use a C++ or Objective-C++ filename in order to use FML (assertions) in the implementation.

Three implementation changes:
* Since the file is now C++, some implicit void* conversions now require
  an explicit cast.
* A malloc/free of a buffer has been replaced with a std::vector.
* An `assert()` was changed to `FML_DCHECK` for consistency with the
  rest of the embedder.

No test changes since there are no semantic changes.

Existing tests are in:
