- Apart from allowing a UI cache variable that may be used when
displaying GENERIC_LIST_ENTRY-ies, do not store any display strings
associated to these list entries. They should be instead computed only
when initializing a list UI (or a combo-box or list control if the
code is used in Win32 environment).
For this matter a callback is provided to InitGenericListUi() that
does the job of computing the displayed string corresponding to a
given GENERIC_LIST_ENTRY.
- Simplify the calls to InitGenericListUi(), and refactor the
RestoreGenericListUiState() function.
- Use for-loops for iterating over GENERIC_LIST items.
- Adapt the storage data format for lists of settings items.
- The txtsetup.sif INF format specified in LoadSetupInf() should not be
INF_STYLE_WIN4 (to be investigated...).
Only convert to ANSI when needed (e.g. in the display code for usetup).
The 1st-stage GUI setup will however use the UNICODE strings directly.

- Create the beginnings of a "setuplib" library, whose aim is to be shared between the (currently existing) 1st-stage text-mode installer, and the (future) 1st-stage GUI installer.
- Finish to split the GenList and PartList codes into their UI part, which remain in usetup, and their algorithmic part, which go into setuplib.
- Move SetMountedDeviceValue into the PartList module.
- Split the FileSystem list code into its UI and the algorithmic part (which goes into setuplib under the name fsutil.c).
* The algo part is meant to be able to manage the filesystems available on the running system, similarly to what is mostly done (in scattered form) in fmifs, format, chkdsk / autochk codes...
It also manages the partition filesystem recognition, using OS routines.
* The UI part manages the FS list as it appears on screen, showing only the possible FSes that can be used to format the selected partition (a bit similar to what we do in the shell32's drive.c, etc...).
- Adapt the calling code to these changes.
- Remove some "host" code that was dating back from the dark old times.

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.
