Before purging the data cache of a certain section of a file from system cache, we have to unintialize the private cache maps of that section if a filesystem or any other component prompts the kernel to do so.
Previously, when creating a file section, Mm requested Cc to cache the file, then Cc would request pages from Mm, then Mm would request them back to serve its file-mapping role
Now, Mm does it all by itself. If file cahcing is requested by the FS driver, then Cc creates a file mapping and uses that to serve its purpose.
This is a rewrite of Cc
This will avoid corruption when a file size is little grown and read afterwards.
Up to now, FSD where reading 0es instead of expected data, causing corruption.
This fixes MS FastFAT not being able to mount a FAT volume in ReactOS, corrupting
the FAT.
This also fixes the CcSetFileSizes kmtest tests.
This is based on a patch by Thomas Faber.

This has have several benefits for ReactOS Cc:
- It helps reducing potential deadlocks situations in Cc
- It speeds up ReactOS by reducing locks
- It gets us a bit closer to Windows VACB
CORE-14349
This fixes various bugs linked to VACB counting:
- VACB not released when it should be
- Reference count expectations not being accurate
For the record, VACB should always have at least a reference
count of 1, unless you are to free it and removed it from
any linked list.
This commit also adds a bunch of asserts that should
help triggering invalid reference counting.
It should also fix numerous ASSERT currently triggered and
may help fixing random behaviours in Cc.

before the call to CcRosReleaseFileCache() which expects to have it to properly clean the file.
So, move deletion code to CcRosReleaseFileCache() so that he's the only one to handle private map.
Should hopefully fix all the recent buildbots issues (and the universe perhaps, who knows?)
This removes the "modified page writer" thread in Mm that was regularly blindly
attempting to flush dirty pages to the disk.
Instead, this commit introduces a lazy writer that will monitor dirty pages count
and will flush them to disk when this count is above a threshold. The threshold is
computed on Cc init.
Compared to what was done previously, this lazy writer will only write down files
that are not marked as temporary.
The mechanisms involved in this lazy writer worker are well described in Windows
Internals 4th editions (constants are coming from it ;-)).
Also fixed a bad (and old!) bug in CcRosFlushDirtyPages() where target count could
be overflow and the function would spin forever while holding the VACBs lock. This is
mandatory as now lazy writer will call it with "random" values.
This also allows implementing CcWaitForCurrentLazyWriterActivity() :-).
Also renamed DirtyPageCount to its MS equivalent.
