DIRECTORY_ALL_ACCESS is not the correct flag, because it is used with the NtCreateDirectoryObject API
that creates virtual "directories" in the NT object namespace; that's not our purpose here.

- Use NT string safe functions.
- Add support for other bootloaders;
- Update a couple of comments;
- Remove deprecated __REACTOS__ #ifdefs.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74713
- Call OpenAndMapFile() with its new ReadWrite parameter;
- Add informative comments in osdetect.c;
- In partlist.c, check whether a disk has a valid MBR by also checking for its 0xAA55 signature.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74712
- In DoesFileExist(): Call NtOpenFile with FILE_GENERIC_READ instead of the more generic GENERIC_READ access right.
- OpenAndMapFile(): Add support for opening & mapping files with write access (to be used latter).
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74710
- Split IniCacheLoad() and IniCacheSave() into: themselves & IniCacheLoadByHandle() and IniCacheSaveByHandle(),
respectively, so that we can load & save INI files if we already have an opened handle to them.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74711
- Remove a redundant NtClose() call;
- Return failure if NtQuerySymbolicLinkObject() fails;
- Use RTL_CONSTANT_STRING and RtlInitEmptyUnicodeString() where needed;
- Reduce code indent level;
- Add old-style function annotations;
- Remove the deprecated code copyright notice, since the copyright in usage is already reported in the COPYING file in the top level ReactOS source code directory.

So far we only have:
- a function FindNTOSBootLoader() that detects the existence of a given boot loader;
- a function EnumerateNTOSBootEntries() (and corresponding helpers) that enumerate the different boot entries in the configuration file(s) for a given boot loader, and for each entry, calls a user-provided callback.
Only supported at the moment: ntldr and freeldr.
Doing that allows me to simplify large portions of the NT-OS detection code so that it becomes more bootloader-agnostic, and this will help me for simplifying some parts of usetup/bootsup.c too, later...

- Adjust also its callers, adjust OpenAndMapFile() parameters.
- Related to that, simplify IsValidNTOSInstallation() parameters & introduce a IsValidNTOSInstallation_UStr()
that does the same, but takes a UNICODE_STRING instead.
- Simplify CheckForValidPEAndVendor().
Now only exactly 5 calls use the "old" 'DoesFileExist' syntax, using a temporarily auxiliary function "DoesFileExist_2"...

This allows building concatenated paths with an arbitrary number of separated components.
- Use the newly-introduced CombinePaths() and ConcatPaths() functions.
- Fix also few comments, and place some UNICODE_NULLs here & there.
