It contains both the text-mode 1st-stage installer and the LiveCD
functionality with the 1st-stage GUI installer.
Our separate LiveCD ISOs become obsolete, and this completely remove
the need for the so-called "hybridcd" ISO.
Some details:
- the "hybridcd" build target is completely removed, since now the new
BootCD *is* basically what we used to call "hybridcd";
- the "livecd" build target is kept so far (to minimize the code changes),
but internally I start to refer to it as "LiveImage", and it is reduced
to a minimum: currently a minimal non-bootable "liveimage.iso" is built
in order to implement the "ReactOS Live in RAMDISK" functionality
(we currently don't support other file formats apart from ISO and
flat disk for a RAMDISK), while the "ReactOS Live" (non-RAMDISK) is
implemented by adding to the BootCD file tree the files from the LiveImage.
These files add two root directories, "Profiles" and "reactos" (which is
the SystemRoot for the non-ramdisk LiveImage).
- The minimal text-mode ReactOS installation used during the 1st-stage
text-mode installer, including USETUP itself and the executable for
the 1st-stage GUI installer and the reactos.cab (installation source)
are moved to the root directory called "i386" (ideally, one directory
per architecture).
- the "bootcdregtest" target, i.e. the ISOs we feed our testbots with,
are left untouched, i.e. they are only constituted of the 1st-stage
text-mode installation, in the root directory named "reactos".
More details will be presented in a subsequent mail to the ros-dev mailing list.

- Make the Create*Partition helpers take a size in bytes, not in sectors.
This allows them to be easier to use by the caller, alleviating the
need for making the size conversion into sectors. Instead it is done
internally by the helpers.
- Introduce helper macros to easily retrieve the size of a partition
entry or a disk in bytes, from their internal representation in number
of sectors.
- The 'AutoCreate' variable being USETUP-specific, remove it from the
PARTENTRY structure and use instead a flag set into the 'New' member.
- Rename IsDiskSizeValid to IsPartitionLargeEnough, to better describe
what the function is for.
Improve code flexibility. 3700+
lines of msctfime.cpp was too long.

- Split msctfime.cpp code to some
source files and header files.

- Delete TFInitLib and TFUninitLib
calls from ctfmon.exe.
- Delete TFUninitLib from Cicero
library.
- Implement InitDisplayAttrbuteLib
in msctfime.ime.
- Improve CIC_LIBTHREAD structure.
Some style-improvements I wanted to apply before a planned backport.
E.g. The biggest source-file CDefView.cpp in [SHELL32] can be shrinked considerably by stripping some outdated
comments from 10 and more years ago, when this class was still non-OOP and named ShellView.
Less excessive line-lengths also here and there.
In case it is not obvious when reviewing: In the beginning of CDevView.cpp in the declaration-part I just
reduced the indentation-level by 4 spaces for a big block.
Some shell classes were touched during 0.4.15-dev'ing for fixes like the 'unkown'-typo in
0.4.15-dev-6323-g 3854a5d8e9 for example
or missing \n were added to dbgprints like in
0.4.15-dev-4492-g 03422451b3
Touched again here, because I want to port those improvements back,
but don't intend to increase the size in older releases.
The commit looks big, but does consist solely of trivialities.
There is no functional change in this commit, aside the logging ofc.
The reason is to avoid enforcing the usage of a specific list
container by the users of the setup library. This is a departure
of what I originally thought would be the best, in commits
92692eae3 (r74553), 8f2c4f7a6 (r75700)
This should actually make some parts of the GUI setup code simpler
(e.g. using the win32 comboboxes to store the list contents).
Refactoring and reduce binary size.

- Add cicero static library in sdk/lib/cicero folder.
- Delete sdk/include/reactos/cicero folder.
- Adapt the dependencies to these changes.
- Make ctfmon, msutb, and msctf modules UNICODE.
- Adapt SetWindowResourceText() function from
`msconfig_new/utils.c` LoadResourceStringEx() function.
- Drop `version.rc` in favor of `uxtheme.rc` since we have forked uxtheme.
Addendum to 118869f69. CORE-5991
Serial number on some USB devices might exceed the number of 100 characters
(e.g. 120 characters on "SanDisk Ultra 3.2Gen1" pendrive) and cause buffer
overflow, resulting in usbstor.sys crash.
- Use pool allocation for instance ID generation.
Fixes stack overflow on USB storage devices with large serial number.
- Print the LUN number as a hexadecimal, not as a character.
- Verify the serial number descriptor before using it.
- Increase the max descriptor size for serial number to
MAXIMUM_USB_STRING_LENGTH. This fixes serial number string truncation.
Based on suggestions by disean and ThFabba.

CRAM_MAGIC is being used to validate the info context structure contents
when the driver routines are being called, so partially revert 8be912147.
Just report "MSVC" as the main FourCC handler in CRAM_GetInfo() instead.

Improve header compatibility and
code quality.
JIRA issue: CORE-19268
- Improve <imm.h> and <immdev.h>
compatibility by correctly choosing
the items.
- Use <immdev.h> instead of
<ddk/immdev.h>.
- Move INPUTCONTEXTDX, IMEINFOEX,
IMEDPI, and CLIENTIMC into
<imm32_undoc.h>.
- Adapt to these changes.
