CORE-18304
The included Telnet client does not support displaying messages with Unicode characters in them.
This is a problem, because even though localisation for the program was made for ReactOS,
it doesn't work properly.
- Make the `printm` function load and format messages using wide character APIs instead of the narrow ones.
- Add format specifiers to the resource files (this is necessary, as there are a lot of places, where narrow strings
are used in the program, and passed as parameters to `printm`).
- Update the page title and subtitle.
- Embolden the types of installation.
- Introduce title and subtitle for the upgrade/repair page
(not translated yet).
- Rewrite the introductory text.
- Add a temporary (ReactOS-Alpha) informational message.
- Hide the "Back" button when the Welcome page is active, and
show it back again when switching to the following ones.
Pressing Shift-F10 to open cmd.exe when the setup program runs from
a different current directory than System32, now works correctly.
Use the 2nd CreateProcessW() `lpCommandLine` parameter, instead of the
1st parameter `lpApplicationName`, so as to use default path search.
The command-line buffer given to the 2nd-parameter can be temporarily
modified by CreateProcessW(), thus use an on-stack buffer.

They are redundant when these are already present in the given module's
root resource file, from which the language-specific resource files are
being included.
Addendum to 0.4.16-dev-323-g c212c184f3 (#7352).
In the usage help message one line started with '\pentru', but it should have been '\tpentru'.

Notes:
- Most of the exported functions have been turned from default cdecl to explicit stdcall / "NTAPI".
- The two InitializeSetup() phases have been collapsed to make the initialization simpler.

Improves detection of Explorer being the default shell.
- Check the "Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" key to see if Explorer is the default shell.
- Use this check to determine whether to start the desktop and taskbar or only open a file browser window.
JIRA issue CORE-19887
Fixes previous attempt at commit 0ca4e6dcf, which was reverted by commit
bbdcc14b1 because the partitioning checks mistook unpartitioned disks as
GPT.
Addendum to commit 99f0937fd.
The partition-creation checks are unified for these partitions into one
single function. To prepare for GPT support, the specifics are put into
a separate MBRPartitionCreateChecks() helper, called for MBR disks by the
upper-level function. GPT disks will have a similar helper in the future.
