The current openal32.dll appears to have problems with new hardware and Windows 10

The current openal32.dll appears to have problems with new hardware and Windows 10, at least in 64-bit. It will throw an invalid access exception after about three minutes. We observed this on a Surface Tablet running Windows 10 Creators Update. In the forums, there is a very similar report on a Dell XPS (https://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=22000.0.)

I determined that SFML is using OpenAl 1.15.1, which is from December 2012. I took the release binary for 1.18.0, renamed it to openal32.dll, replaced the earlier version and the software has been running without issue for almost 18 hours.

I suggest replacing the opeal32.dll with the latest version.
