- Add checks for GPT disks and either fail or ignore the disk,
depending on the operation being executed.
[USETUP][REACTOS] Display the disk style more accurately.

- Correctly insert discovered partitions in sorted order of StartSector,
and verify that they do not overlap (-> check for broken partitioning).
May help for CORE-10898.
- Use the correct reported partition numbers that may be modified after
partitioning changes, and that need to be used when opening
\Device\Harddisk'M'\Partition'N' files. This is achieving by
retrieving the returned value of the IOCTL_DISK_SET_DRIVE_LAYOUT call.
Distinguish them from the "on-disk" partition numbers that are the ones
that enumerate the partition in partition-table order (and is the order
known by e.g. the BIOS), and that should be used to construct the
destination ARC path.
May help for CORE-4870, CORE-13205.
- Simplify a lot of duplicated code by using helper functions.
Always perform the partition validity checks when creating new
primary/extended/logical partitions, and also when a new partition
is automatically created when unpartitioned space is selected for
ReactOS installation.
CORE-12246
This will allow compatibility with modern OSes and
modern disk management utilities.
It will also improve performances by properly aligning
partition start.
And it will let enough room at the begin of the disk
for 3rd party bootloaders.
WARNING: this is not compatible with previous partition
model, and old one will likely not be compatible. You'll
have to erase your whole partition table and start from
scratch.
- SETUPLIB and USETUP: Convert PARTENTRY::DriveLetter to WCHAR.
- SETUPLIB: Retrieve volume label.
- SETUPLIB and USETUP: Move the partition types (IDs) table from
USETUP to SETUPLIB so that they can share it with the 1st-stage
GUI installer too. Also take the opportunity to update the table
with information from http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html
and cross-checked with the list from Paragon Hard-Disk Manager.
- USETUP: Simplify PrintPartitionData().
- Add some code comments.
- Use OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE when initializing object attributes
(no actual reason why to keep case sensitivity there).
- Check the success of a RtlStringCchPrintfW call in EnumerateReactOSEntries().
- Explicitly check for returned STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from ChkdskPartition()
or FormatPartition(), and display an appropriate error message.
- Remove some left-over comments but also explain why I kept some
commented code (mainly for future reference).
