We can already restart reading the whole file if seeking backward,
and there is currently no more use case of backward seek.
By doing so, we gain 1MB of memory when using PXE.
We need the CDDB during the setup, so don't delete it for now.
The "proper" way for filling it is yet to be decided, Windows does that
from the data in txtsetup.sif file. Our final approach may be different
The version string cutoff started to happen when we switched from SVN
with its short revision number to git with the longer hashes.
0.4.7-dev-502-gc2c66af was the first git-only rev (2017-Oct-03)
This brings the dialogs layout closer to XP.
Also fixes some other truncations for specific languages.
And unifies the touched text controls sizes for all languages.
The credits have been moved to readme.txt where they are more present and
we can avoid having to groom all languages files each time we want to add
a new dev (and sysdm.cpl to grow each time). Less maintenance.

readme.txt still fits into a single NTFS cluster afterwards with 3702bytes
- Use PnP storage class drivers
- Make partmgr an upper filter driver for Disk class
- Fill upper filters in txtsetup and usetup/devinst
- Add cdrom driver to the critical device database
CORE-6264
This gets "ReactOS" with Win2003 NT kernel + HAL boot a bit further.
(The "SystemPrefix" REG_DWORD value is part of license information in Win2000/XP/2003.)
at runtime from the boot selection menu or from FREELDR.INI.

For a proper override of the options by new user options, specify the
/SIFOPTIONSOVERRIDE switch in addition. Otherwise, user options are
merged with those retrieved from TXTSETUP.SIF, with priority given to
the former ones.
- Update the documentation for the 'ReactOSSetup' OS type in the
FREELDR.INI file template.
- Use a different prompt in the custom boot options editor for the
'ReactOSSetup' OS type, with adequate explanation.
- Get rid of the ReactOS-specific TXTSETUP.SIF 'DbgOsLoadOptions' value,
and use instead the Windows-compatible 'SetupDebugOptions' value that
is added to the other load options when debugging is to be enabled.
- Introduce a set of NtLdrGet(Next)Option(Ex) helpers that allow
retrieving respectively, the "next" option in an options string,
and retrieving a given named option in such an options string,
by correctly parsing that string.
Valid syntaxes:
/OPTION1 /OPTION2/OPTION3 OPTION4 /OPTION5(=...) ...
Options separators are slashes, or whitespace (space, tab), mandatory
if no slash is used, and otherwise optional.
- Use these functions wherever NT load options are being parsed.
- Simplify the parsing of /DEBUGPORT=... using these functions.
- When parsing the /HAL=... or /KERNEL=... options, only the first
encountered one is taken into account, any other ones are discarded.
- When parsing the other load options, only their first occurrences are
taken into account, any other repetitions are discarded.
* The NOPAE option overrides any previous PAE option.
* Any NOEXECUTE(=) option should override any previous
NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF (or equivalently, EXECUTE) option.
This parameter is not needed since it's possible to determine, from
within this function, whether or not we are in Setup mode, by just
looking for the presence of a non NULL LoaderBlock->SetupLdrBlock.
