- filesup.c's functions ConcatPaths(), Does[Path|File]Exist(), NtPathToDiskPartComponents(), OpenAndMapFile(), UnMapFile();
- Move the inicache library to setuplib as it'll be used for the 1st stage GUI setup too (indeed, there is no good INI file API
under Win32; the Win32 profile "API" is just good enough to manipulate the win16 ini files, and are here anyways for backward
compatibility purposes only);
- Move the OS detector too.
- Remove the duplicated ConcatPaths() code in arcname.c.

The aim is to use this detector to be able to detect and select an existing installation of ReactOS for upgrading.
The user then could either select one, or skip this step and perform a regular ReactOS installation.
What remains to be done, is to parse the NTOS loader configuration files (freeldr.ini in ReactOS' case, or boot.ini in Win2k3's case, etc...)
to retrieve the actual installation paths. So far these are currently hardcoded for testing purposes only.
The detector attempts to distinguish between ReactOS and Windows installations by checking at the company name vendor of the ntoskrnl.exe & ntdll.dll files,
so that only ReactOS installations are allowed to be upgraded.

- 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.
