RFC [PATCH] ddraw: Prevent refcount underflow

Hi.

Attached patch fixes a problem with Beetle Crazy Cup's VideoSetup.exe, which 
hangs at exit because some code tries to free ddraw surface on which a 
refcount underflow happened earlier in the execution.

Executing it with winedbg shows that the first call causing the underflow is 
triggered from game's binary:
Stopped on breakpoint 3 at 0x7ed494fc ddraw1_Release+0x2c 
[/home/vincent/git/wine/dlls/ddraw/ddraw.c:476] in ddraw
476	    ULONG ref = InterlockedDecrement(&ddraw->ref1);
Wine-dbg>print ddraw->ref1
0

Points on which I would like opinions:
- getting rid of the magic number
- need to check after InterlockedDecrement (in doubt I did, but the code is
  much less readable this way)
- couldn't it actually hide a refcount problem in wine ?
- if not, then would it be good to extend to other refcounts aswell or include
  in [a local wrapper for] InterlockedDecrement ?
