So far we only have:
- a function FindNTOSBootLoader() that detects the existence of a given boot loader;
- a function EnumerateNTOSBootEntries() (and corresponding helpers) that enumerate the different boot entries in the configuration file(s) for a given boot loader, and for each entry, calls a user-provided callback.
Only supported at the moment: ntldr and freeldr.
Doing that allows me to simplify large portions of the NT-OS detection code so that it becomes more bootloader-agnostic, and this will help me for simplifying some parts of usetup/bootsup.c too, later...

- 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().
Now only exactly 5 calls use the "old" 'DoesFileExist' syntax, using a temporarily auxiliary function "DoesFileExist_2"...

This allows building concatenated paths with an arbitrary number of separated components.
- Use the newly-introduced CombinePaths() and ConcatPaths() functions.
- Fix also few comments, and place some UNICODE_NULLs here & there.

- 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.
- Remove the duplicated ConcatPaths() code in arcname.c.

- In the partlist.c disk getters: Remove useless "IsListEmpty(&List->DiskListHead)" checks, because this is actually the kind of check the while() loop does just after...
- Fix few DPRINTs.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74629
- isspace('\0') returns FALSE anyways so no need to separately test for a NULL character;
- The (str/wcs)toul function cannot return a NULL pointer from its second paramter;
- VersionInfo32_FindChild(): the third argument is indeed a number of characters (not bytes),
so rename the parameter to make this fact clear. The function is however correctly used within this module.

The NT path resolver allows mapping between an ARC path as specified in freeldr.ini / boot.ini , to its corresponding NT path, if possible.
Currently, only the mapping direction "ARC to NT" is implemented. It will be used wherever such mappings are needed, for example when identifying
the ReactOS / Windows installations from the available freeldr.ini / boot.ini entries (for upgrading / repair purposes).
The resolver supports the usual ARC paths: multi()disk()[r|f]disk()[partition()] ; eisa()disk()[r|f]disk()[partition()] ; multi()disk()cdrom() ;
scsi()disk()[r|f]disk()[partition()] ; scsi()cdrom()fdisk() ; ramdisk(x) ; net(x) (actually reported as "unsupported" since it would map to some
path on some network), and the newly-introduced Win2k signature()disk()rdisk()[partition()].
The code is in work-in-progress status.
Some validation tests, that were used during the implementation of the resolver, have been added.

- Add a PreparePartitionForFormatting routine that sets the partition ID depending on the chosen filesystem.
- The 'FORMATMACHINESTATE FormatState' machine-state and the 'TempPartition' members of the partition list structure is purely a USETUP convenience, so remove them from the PARTLIST structure and move them back into USETUP.
- Attempt to recognize the filesystem (set the 'FileSystem' member of PARTENTRY) of partitions we are adding into the PARTLIST list.
- Fix the return value of the SelectPartition function, which is by the way completely broken (it doesn't do what it is supposed to do; alternatively its naming is completely wrong...).

- Create the beginnings of a "setuplib" library, whose aim is to be shared between the (currently existing) 1st-stage text-mode installer, and the (future) 1st-stage GUI installer.
- Finish to split the GenList and PartList codes into their UI part, which remain in usetup, and their algorithmic part, which go into setuplib.
- Move SetMountedDeviceValue into the PartList module.
- Split the FileSystem list code into its UI and the algorithmic part (which goes into setuplib under the name fsutil.c).
* The algo part is meant to be able to manage the filesystems available on the running system, similarly to what is mostly done (in scattered form) in fmifs, format, chkdsk / autochk codes...
It also manages the partition filesystem recognition, using OS routines.
* The UI part manages the FS list as it appears on screen, showing only the possible FSes that can be used to format the selected partition (a bit similar to what we do in the shell32's drive.c, etc...).
- Adapt the calling code to these changes.
- Remove some "host" code that was dating back from the dark old times.
