[PARTMGR] Detect and flag partitionless ("super-floppy") disks (#6926)
CORE-15575

Detect whether the disk is a "super-floppy", which is the name given
to partitionless disk having no MBR, with the unique partition volume
starting at sector offset zero and spanning the whole disk.
The name comes from the fact that at the partitioning level, the disk
"looks like" a large-capacity floppy disk.

This is typically how external removable (USB, ...) drives are
partitioned by default by Windows.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-and-gpt-faq?view=windows-11#superfloppy

The kernel-mode functions IoReadPartitionTable() / IoWritePartitionTable()
report the drive layout of a "super-floppy" disk as follows:
an MBR-style disk containing only one single partition starting at the
beginning of the disk (StartingOffset == 0) without hidden sectors, and
its type being FAT16 non-bootable.
The disk NTFT signature is set to 0x00000001.

----

Additional bug fixes to make the feature work reliably:

- Make PartMgrGetDriveLayout() also update the FDO DiskData's
  PartitionStyle and Signature/GPT DiskId for consistency (code moved
  from PartMgrRefreshDiskData()).

- In FdoIoctlDiskSetDriveLayout[Ex](), if the disk is "super-floppy",
  but the user wants to create more than one partition, fail the call.
  (In the Ex call, fail also if the partition style changes.)

[PARTMGR] Fix x64 build warning
warning C4267: 'function': conversion from 'size_t' to 'ULONG', possible loss of data'

The OutputBufferLength member that was temporarily stored in
outBufferLength is already a ULONG, and IssueSyncIoControlRequest()
takes the length as a ULONG. So there is no need to use 'size_t' here.

[PARTMGR] Add the Partition Manager driver
This driver works as complement to disk.sys/classpnp.sys from Windows 10
Manages partition PDOs and exposes them as volumes to mountmgr.sys.
The driver is almost complete, just some minor IOCTLs missing (will be
added on demand)
