public VARIANT(String value)
Create a new VARIANT wrapping the supplied string.

Implementation note: the string is wrapped as a BSTR value, that is allocated using `OleAuto.SysAllocString(java.lang.String)` and needs to be freed using `OleAuto.SysFreeString(com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WTypes.BSTR)` by the user

Parameters:
  `value` - to be wrapped
