The aim here is to decouple the UI-specific code from code that can be used by both the text-mode USETUP and a future 1st-stage GUI setup.
Indeed, the GenLists can actually be used in the 1st-stage GUI; and their contents be displayed inside ListBoxes/ListViews... (this is just one example amongst others).
Additionally (in usetup.c):
- Make both FormatPartitionPage and CheckFileSystemPage return PAGE_NUMBERs.
- Improve a couple of comments.

- Allow retrieving the number of items existing in the list;
- Fix the name of some function parameters.

- Document more some of the fields in the PARTENTRY, DISKETNRY and PARTLIST structures;
- Remove the redundant members "SystemDisk", "OriginalSystemDisk" and "TempDisk" in PARTLIST as these can be consistently deduced from the corresponding (Original)(System)(Temp)Partition members
(note that we however keep "CurrentDisk" alongside "CurrentPartition", see the comment in the code why we do it so).
- Adjust the rest of the code to take the removal of the redundant members into account. The 2nd parameter of GetNextUnformattedPartition() and GetNextUncheckedPartition() is now really optional.
- Introduce a SetPartitionType() helper to simplify the code that sets the partition type, which also automatically adjusts other internal variables of said partition in accordance.
- "Mounted" logical drives can have assigned letters too, registered in \DosDevices\.

- Use explicit ansi string safe functions (where they are used ansi, but not explicitely);
- Add (old-school) function parameters annotations;
- Use PARTITION_ENTRY_UNUSED where needed (instead of hardcoding its value);
- Turn some functions static to this module;
- Turn the 2nd parameter of both GetNextUnformattedPartition() and GetNextUncheckedPartition() optional (for next commit);
- Improve some comments;
- Use NT types.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74531
- Introduce code that detects the filesystem of a (mounted?) partition, using NtQueryVolumeInformationFile() with FileFsAttributeInformation class,
aka. rely on ReactOS itself (kernel, storage stack, filesystem drivers...) to recognize the FS on a partition that should normally be seen by the system.
This currently half-works for whatever reason (to be insvestigated), while it works on Windows.
- Fix few comments & a function parameter name.
- Use NT string pointer types.

- ConcatPaths that concatenates paths (or a path and a file name);
- OpenAndMapFile (resp. UnMapFile), whose purpose is to open a file and map it in memory (resp. unmap it from memory).
- Add extra optional parameters to DoesPathExist and DoesFileExist: an optional "RootDirectory" handle and, for DoesFileExist only, an optional PathName.
- Close the opened file handles only on success.

- Path must not contain whitespace characters.
- Path must be at least 2 characters long.
- Path must start with a backslash.
- Path must not end with a backslash.
- Path components must not end with a dot.

This avoids the open failing on certain file systems where GENERIC_WRITE access would be denied
for a readonly file.
This is an addendum to 82f44a2.
CORE-14158
In such situation, try to drop the readonly attribute before overwritting the file.
This fixes setup not being able to overwrite FAT bootcode when reusing a FAT partition
already installed without reformatting.
CORE-14158
it only perform a full check if dirty bit is set (which should never happen *cough*).
This is needed because otherwise, ReactOS installation takes forever when IopParseDevice is gone
due to slow ChkDsk.
