- Multiboot support added back in FreeLdr MSVC builds so that it can be
booted using e.g. GRUB. See CORE-15563.
- Re-introduce the disk drive mapper code.
As the MSVC linker alone doesn't permit such control, the file uses
ASM language (C can alternatively be used), together with extra linker
command-line switches.
It is pre-processed 3 times: first for generating the ASM code, second
for the C code and the third time for generating the linker response
file.
In our case, the ASM code defines the __bss_start__ and __bss_end__
symbols that allow us to find the limits of the .bss section (which is
by the way automatically appended to the .data section by the MSVC linker).
The C code is used to specify the list of linker switches that can be
passed through the `#pragma comment(linker, ...)' directive (the can be
alternatively specified in the linker response section).
Finally the linker response section contains all the linker switches
that cannot be specified with the `#pragma comment(linker, ...)'
directive.
Using all this we can recycle the BSS initialization code, that has been
written originally for GCC only, also for the MSVC builds.
Also, remove the outdated .text16 section merging.
- Whitespace;
- Explicitly use string pooling (option "/GF"), so that even if it's
used globally in the main ReactOS CMAKE file or not, we still have it
there, because we are quite size-constrained;
- Rename the source lists (OK, we understand it's _COMMON_ ...);
- Remove redundant double inclusion of linuxboot.c;
- In the 'freeldr_common' static library, compile the ASM code first.
- Introduce the AddReactOSArcDiskInfo() helper to get rid of the
duplicated reactos_arc_disk_info usage scattered amongst different
files.
- GetHarddiskInformation(): If we cannot read the disk that has been
enumerated by the BIOS, return a default identifier string.
- GetHarddiskInformation(): The last character of the disk identifier
string corresponds to whether its MBR is "valid"/has the 0xAA55
signature (use 'A') or whether it's not (use 'X'). Tested on Windows.
- Split PcInitializeBootDevices() in two: the first part of this
function that enumerates hard disks from the BIOS is now moved into
EnumerateHarddisks().
- The 'ValidPartitionTable' field of the ARC disk signature records must
be initialized with correct value that is specified in the different
AddReactOSArcDiskInfo() calls.

By default, we still fallback to FAT if nothing asked, or if there
is an invalid input.
0 is FAT, 1 is BtrFS. This can be grown as soon as we add more IFS.
Adds the 'Red, White, and Blue' Color Scheme used by the Classic Theme and adds localization for all the color schemes into themeui.dll.
Translators, please check the language files for potential copypasta errors.
Before taking any default action if there is no timeout, check whether
the supplied key filter callback function may handle a specific user
keypress. If it does, the menu timeout is cancelled.
This allows e.g. handling F8 press for displaying boot options even when
the timeout is zero.
CORE-14046
Purpose:
When doing a PXE BootCD installation, you may be left without networking, usb and a cd drive.
This adds an easy way to include a few or more files to the installation which are then present on the disk after the installation and which does not require any change to ReactOS source code/build script files (and no manual editing of boot/bootdata/packages/reactos.dff.in).
Proposed changes:
Adds a new modules/3rdparty folder which lets the files end up in C:\ReactOS\3rdParty ready for use.
- BOOTDATA: Use standard INF signature string, so that they can be
opened successfully using ReactOS' or Windows' setupapi.dll with
the INF_STYLE_WIN4 style.
- SETUPLIB: Use the correct INF_STYLE_* INF styles in SpInfOpenInfFile() calls.
- REACTOS : Switch thread locale to user-specified LocaleId when calling
SetupOpenInfFileW(), so that the correct localized strings are used.
We now run the 1st-stage setup with a regular system hive, similarly to
what's done for the LiveCD, or for a regular ROS installation.
The ExpInTextModeSetup hacks I previously removed are now completely unneeded.

Split the "main" winldr.h header into the one containing global code
that actually doesn't really depend on the "windows" NT loader part,
and one that actually concerns code just for the NT Loader.
The latter goes into "ntldr".

This fixes optional modules being installed in places
that make no sense.
This also fixes auto installation of Gecko. Thus, this
fixes unattended setup of ReactOS for testbots.

Volume boot record is also implemented, it supports reading BTRFS tree structures with upto 64k node size.
This support required to change all path in Free Loader to lowercase for better performance.

This happened for the livecd, where the cdfs driver was inserted twice - once since it is the driver for the boot device, and the 2nd time, because it was specified in the registry - which was then initialized twice by the kernel, leading to a name conflict when trying to create another device object, which resulted in the newly created device object to be dereferenced again and the driver unloaded. This can be seen from the debug message "(ntoskrnl\mm\ARM3\sysldr.c:955) Leaking driver: cdfs.sys"
