Implement work-in-progress code that, when upgrading an existing
ReactOS installation, verifies whether the (existing) system registry
hives are valid (by loading & unloading them, this allows using the
built-in repair functionality if needed), or not.
If a given hive cannot be repaired successfully, it is backed up
(with a '.brk' extension, "brk" as "broken"), then is marked up for
recreation.
When all hives have been checked, if there are any hive that needs
to be recreated, we recreate its hive file, mount it, but we do *NOT*
mount the other valid existing hives for update. We create instead
dummy registry hives so that we can actually use, as the update code,
the same one as the one used when fully creating the registry hives
for a clean installation (of course, this choice can be improved later on).
The update code (i.e. the same as the registry clean-install one) then
adds the registry keys & values, either putting them in the dummy
registry hives (the ones that we don't want to recreate) or in the
registry hive that is recreated.
At the end, the (re)created registry hives are flushed back to disk,
and a copy of them (under a '.sav' extension) are created, so that they
can be used for restoration purposes if 2nd-stage (and up) goes berserk.
Extra fixes:
- Use the correct structure member field when initializing the
'InstallDir' variable, when performing an upgrade.
- CreateNestedKey() should be better analysed to see whether it correctly
creates the full registry path compatible with volatile/non-volatile keys
(under inspection).

Will be used soon to make backups of system files, like the registry hive files just freshly created.
- Make the SetupCopyFile() function closer to its win32 counterpart.
- Adjust the code that calls SetupCopyFile().

The rationale is as follows.
We now have the 1st-stage ReactOS setup running with its own registry SYSTEM hive,
similarly to regular ROS running instances (livecd, regular installation...).
The ReactOS-specific SetInstallPathValue() hack, introduced in a76689e9 (r3794)
and 5f973ce0 (r3795), is removed. This hack told the kernel that, during the setup,
it had to "switch" the used registry hives and instead use the ones of the ROS
installation being prepared.
This was really hackish because this means, mixing between registry settings used only
for the setup running instance, that could use different registry settings
than the ones that should be set for the ROS installation being actually performed.
Also, note that in the case of a 1st-stage GUI setup, consisting in running the
LiveCD + the GUI setup program, this situation would be untenable. Note also that
for people willing to use the Setup*** functions exported by setupapi.dll to parse
the registry INF files to initialize the registry of the ROS installation being
prepared, this would be impossible either.
Hence the need to have offline registry modification functionality.

We now run the 1st-stage setup with a regular system hive, similarly to
what's done for the LiveCD, or for a regular ROS installation.
The ExpInTextModeSetup hacks I previously removed are now completely unneeded.

Split the "main" winldr.h header into the one containing global code
that actually doesn't really depend on the "windows" NT loader part,
and one that actually concerns code just for the NT Loader.
The latter goes into "ntldr".

- Rework CmpSetSystemValues() and remove its 1st-stage text-mode setup hack, since a real registry hive will be used for 1st-stage either.
- Lock, then unlock the registry in NtInitializeRegistry when initializing the hives & flusher.
- Call CmpInitializeHiveList() (i.e., initialize the other hives like \Software, \User, \.Default) only when we are not in setup-mode.

This reverts a7c26408 (r53255) and ff75ae1b (r53694), and a hack from 6075ae9a (r46690).

Add a mechanism that detects via the version resource whether it's needed to mirror
the application layout or not. This is a "follow up" to commit 5b14b6f.
This code is taken from the GetProcessDefaultLayout() function from Wine
(called there "WIN_CreateWindowEx").
In Windows the version-resource mirroring happens when the GDI is loading the LPK.
- Implement mirroring via version resource. GDI linking on startup is required.
- GDI32: Add LPK loading on GDI startup.
To enable mirroring via version resource the lpk.dll must be loaded before any windows are created.
This is done through GdiInitializeLanguagePack() function which is called in GdiProcessSetup().
- LPK: Use Wine debug messaging.
- Also, reserve a new field to display whether the disk is MBR or GPT-initialized.
- Adjust the code that used the "STRING_HDDINFOUNKx" string labels.
The extra slot added to some of the strings is to indicate whether the disk is MBR or GPT.
As attentive readers will notice, the code that "determines" whether the disk is either MBR or GPT
is of course just temporary: it's just a placeholder code that should currently just show "MBR".
Having the NoMbr flag mostly signifies that the disk is uninitialized. A GPT disk also has a MBR
but it's for "backcompatibility" / "protective" reasons (so that MBR-only tools would see the disk
as just a big 1-partitioned only disk with which they could barely do anything). A real involved test
for the nature of the disk should involve calling the correct IOCTLs in the disk detection code in partlist.c .
This is for the future (and when ReactOS will better support GPT disks).

- The "intro" page is renamed into the "Welcome" page, because its corresponding resource indeed is the welcome screen;
- Because the "setup start" page can only be displayed once, move it out of the while-loop, and use its result as the initial value of the 'Page' variable.
- Remove unneeded _PAGE_NUMBER_DEFINED guards;
- Add a DPRINT in the RepairUpdateFlag case of RegistryPage() (because we don't implement yet a correct upgrading or repairing of the registry).
- In InstallIntroPage(), display the page itself only if needed (i.e. after all the validation checks & repair/update or unattended checks are done). Similar modifications are done also in DeviceSettingsPage(), SelectPartitionPage()
- Turn both CheckUnattendedSetup() and UpdateKBLayout() into static functions.
- Fix the code of ScsiControllerPage() so that it can be compiled if needed, and add a dummy OemDriverPage().

- Improve the capture of OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES parameters that are passed
(by pointer) to the Cm* helper functions, and the capture of
UNICODE_STRINGs.
- Correctly differentiate user-mode vs. kernel-mode root directory handles
(in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES): note that most of the Cm* APIs expect their
parameters to be kernel-mode (pointers, handles...).
