This fixes various bugs linked to VACB counting:
- VACB not released when it should be
- Reference count expectations not being accurate
For the record, VACB should always have at least a reference
count of 1, unless you are to free it and removed it from
any linked list.
This commit also adds a bunch of asserts that should
help triggering invalid reference counting.
It should also fix numerous ASSERT currently triggered and
may help fixing random behaviours in Cc.

Previously, we would keep sampling the CPU frequency until two subsequent
samples differed by at most 1 MHz. This could take several seconds, and would
unnecessarily delay boot.
Instead, if sampling is too unreliable, just give up and calculate the average
frequency from 10 samples. This is no worse than picking the frequency that
just happened to be returned twice in a row.
The fact that this method of sampling fails could indicate that there's a
problem with our performance counter implementation or timer interrupt,
but that's a separate issue...
This avoids locking Cc for too long by trying to read-ahead data which
is already in cache.
We now will only schedule a read ahead if next read should bring us
to a new VACB (perhaps not in cache).
This notably fixes Inkscape setup which was slown down by read-ahead
due to continous 1 byte reads.
Thanks to Thomas for his help on this issue.

The reserve IRP is an IRP which is allocated on system boot and kept during
the whole system life. Its purpose is to allow page reads in case of
low-memory situations where the system doesn't have enough memory left
to allocate an IRP to read from the page file (would be catastrophic situation).
Standard shared cache map provides space for a private cache map, do the same
and make it available for the first handle. It avoids two allocations in a row.
This halfplements CcScheduleReadAhead() which is responsible for finding the next reads
to perform given last read and previous reads. I made it very basic for now, at least
to test the whole process.
This also introduces the CcExpressWorkQueue in the lazy writer which is responsible
for dealing with read ahead items and which is dealt with before the regular queue.
In CcCopyData(), if read was fine, schedule read ahead so that it can happen in background
without the FSD to notice it! Also, update the read history so that scheduling as a
bit of data.
Implement (à la "old Cc" ;-)) CcPerformReadAhead() which is responsible for performing
the read. It's only to be called by the worker thread.
Side note on the modifications done in CcRosReleaseFileCache(). Private cache map
is tied to a handle. If it goes away, private cache map gets deleted. Read ahead
can run after the handle was closed (and thus, private cache map deleted), so
it is mandatory to always lock the master lock before accessing the structure in
read ahead or before deleting it in CcRosReleaseFileCache(). Otherwise, you'll
just break everything. You've been warned!
This commit also partly reverts f8b5d27.

before the call to CcRosReleaseFileCache() which expects to have it to properly clean the file.
So, move deletion code to CcRosReleaseFileCache() so that he's the only one to handle private map.
Should hopefully fix all the recent buildbots issues (and the universe perhaps, who knows?)
This reverts BCB being lazy written when marked dirty.
We'll go back to this behavior when this part will have been reworked and stabilized.

We get rid of the old iLazyWriterNotify event in favor of work items
that contain an event that lazy writer will set once its done.
To implement this, we rely on the newly introduced CcPostTickWorkQueue work queue
that will contain work items that are to be queued once lazy writer is done.
Move the CcWaitForCurrentLazyWriterActivity() implementation to the
lazy writer file, and reimplemented it using the new support mechanisms
Instead move to a threading model like the Windows one.
We'll queue several work items to be executed in a system thread (Cc worker)
when there are VACB that have been marked as dirty. Furthermore, some delay
will be observed before action to avoid killing the system with IOs.
This new threading model opens way for read ahead and write behind implementation.
Also, moved the initialization of the lazy writer to CcInitializeCacheManager()
it has nothing to do with views and shouldn't be initialized there.
Also, moved the lazy writer implementation to its own file.
Modified CcDeferWrite() and CcRosMarkDirtyVacb() to take into account the new threading model.
Introduced new functions:
- CcPostWorkQueue(): post an item to be handled by Cc worker and spawn a worker if required
- CcScanDpc(): called after some time (not to have lazy writer always running) to queue a lazy scan
- CcLazyWriteScan(): the lazy writer we used to have
- CcScheduleLazyWriteScan(): function to call when you want to start a lazy writer run. It will make a DPC after some time and queue execution
- CcWorkerThread(): the worker thread that will handle lazy write, read ahead, and so on
This means that MmSystemCacheStart, MmSystemCacheEnd, MmSizeOfSystemCacheInPages
have now a valid value.
System cache is not used atm the moment though. MmMapViewInSystemCache() is to
be implemented, and Cc is to be made aware of this.

- Change MM_SYSTEM_SPACE_START to 0xFFFFF88000000000
- Move MI_DEBUG_MAPPING to the end of the system PTE range
- Add MI_SYSTEM_CACHE_START and MI_SYSTEM_CACHE_END, which is in the range that Vista uses as dynamic VA space for cache and other allocations
- Wrap x86 specific code that makes now invalid assumptions about the address space layout in #ifdef _M_IX86
