Mantis 2839: Resource leaks due to missing dispose / event unsubscription - (svn #25530)

Purpose

IPlayer now implements IDisposal.

When fixing resource leaks it was soon realized that several places we needed to implement the IDisposal interface.

This required some classes to implement the dispose method while some classes already had something that resembled a dispose method but with an improper name like release. In these cases a simple rename factoring where done from 'release' to dispose.

Description of change

This was done to IPlayer interface.

• Removed : public virtual void Release();
• Added : public abstract void Dispose();
