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.

- 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().

Fixes in particular a regression brought by 57402ee (thanks George Bisoc
for having noticed this), where the BTRFS bootsector code could not be
installed anymore.

- Fix the usage of the BootEntry's "Version" member.
- Don't surround with too many quotation marks the "friendly" boot entry name in AddBootStoreEntry().
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74964
In particular the helper functions CreateCommonFreeLdrSections() and (Un)protectBootIni() are now removed from there (they are used in bldrsup.c only).
This should pave the way for future integration with other sorts of NT boot loaders (BootMgr and (u)EFI boot loader).

- Convert almost all swprintf() into StringCchPrintfW() and wcscpy() into StringCchCopyW();
- Explicitly add a trailing path separator to the "\Device\HarddiskX\PartitionY(\)" paths
when they refer to FS directories (and not to partition objects);
- Remove useless (and half-buggy) "Remove trailing backslash" code.
With that, it is possible to install ReactOS in e.g. C:\ReactOS (as usual), C:\ReactOS\dir1\dir2 (as many dirs as you wish), and also in C:\ (yes yes!).
But in that latter case, a strange bug related to the registry arises...
Additionally:
- Adjust some comments;
- Add some debugging DPRINTs;
- The SetInstallPathValue() is part of the big hack I've mentioned in f51faa4a (r74709).

Also, trim any potential trailing path separator from the NT disk partition path before opening the partition object itself for read/write access.

- Add the MUI ID resource.
- Implement the shutdown timeout progress bar function and the TimeOut string handler.
- Add the resource string to other resource languages.
- Simplify the usage of the PUPDATE_PROGRESS callback.
- Add the possibility of specifying an initial non-zero StepCount when
creating the progress-bar (using the -Ex version), so that it can be
initially drawn with the expected initial count.
Of course ProgressSetStepCount() can continue to be used.
Updated the font substitutions to use the new Hebrew glyphs in the updated Tahoma font.
Also added substitution for the Ubuntu font to make the Lautus and Modern themes legible with Hebrew UI elements.

Improve the progress bar functions:
- Add a member in the struct, which will be used as a bar colour parameter for the new CreateProgressBarEx().
- CreateProgressBar() which will now invoke the Ex variant without the additional parameter.
- Improved Italian translation for USETUP, WELCOME, REACTOS, EXPLORER.
- Completed translation in SYSSETUP.
- Correct some characters encoding and text alignment in USETUP.
DIRECTORY_ALL_ACCESS is not the correct flag, because it is used with the NtCreateDirectoryObject API
that creates virtual "directories" in the NT object namespace; that's not our purpose here.

- Use RTL_CONSTANT_STRING and RtlInitEmptyUnicodeString() where needed;

- Adjust also its callers, adjust OpenAndMapFile() parameters.
- Related to that, simplify IsValidNTOSInstallation() parameters & introduce a IsValidNTOSInstallation_UStr()
that does the same, but takes a UNICODE_STRING instead.
- Simplify CheckForValidPEAndVendor().

This allows building concatenated paths with an arbitrary number of separated components.

- 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.

- Improve FindExistingNTOSInstall() so that we can find an existing installation either by system root
ARC path or NT path. This is used during the enumeration of available installations from the boot.ini/freeldr.ini
and during other existence & validity checks of NTOS installations.
- Improve AddNTOSInstallation() so that we can save the system root ARC path and NT path of the installation,
as well as its partition entry structure pointer, for caching & later retrieval purposes.
- Remove some deprecated comments & todos, and implement other todos.
- Improve the output of some DPRINTs.
- Fix the return value of FindSubStrI.

In all the disks/partitions available, it searches for the presence of freeldr.ini / boot.ini, open & parse them,
and enumerates the available boot entries (as candidates for installations). For each of them, it maps their ARC paths
into the NT namespace (hence the ARC 2 NT path resolver committed in r74621), then attempts to detect in these paths
the existence of NTOS installations.
