Implement work-in-progress code that, when upgrading an existing
ReactOS installation, verifies whether the (existing) system registry
hives are valid (by loading & unloading them, this allows using the
built-in repair functionality if needed), or not.
If a given hive cannot be repaired successfully, it is backed up
(with a '.brk' extension, "brk" as "broken"), then is marked up for
recreation.
When all hives have been checked, if there are any hive that needs
to be recreated, we recreate its hive file, mount it, but we do *NOT*
mount the other valid existing hives for update. We create instead
dummy registry hives so that we can actually use, as the update code,
the same one as the one used when fully creating the registry hives
for a clean installation (of course, this choice can be improved later on).
The update code (i.e. the same as the registry clean-install one) then
adds the registry keys & values, either putting them in the dummy
registry hives (the ones that we don't want to recreate) or in the
registry hive that is recreated.
At the end, the (re)created registry hives are flushed back to disk,
and a copy of them (under a '.sav' extension) are created, so that they
can be used for restoration purposes if 2nd-stage (and up) goes berserk.
Extra fixes:
- Use the correct structure member field when initializing the
'InstallDir' variable, when performing an upgrade.
- CreateNestedKey() should be better analysed to see whether it correctly
creates the full registry path compatible with volatile/non-volatile keys
(under inspection).

Will be used soon to make backups of system files, like the registry hive files just freshly created.
- Make the SetupCopyFile() function closer to its win32 counterpart.
- Adjust the code that calls SetupCopyFile().

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().

- Make the strings translatable.
- Include the English translation within the main resource file.
- Use ConResPrintf() and ConResPuts() for resource strings.
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.
CORE-15192
- Fix the usage of the BootEntry's "Version" member.
- Don't surround with too many quotation marks the "friendly" boot entry name in AddBootStoreEntry().

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).
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74954
This concerns so far, only freeldr.ini and to an extent, boot.ini, but planning in the future to add support for registry-oriented BCD
as well as possibly direct (u)EFI entries, using the corresponding NT functions.
This code is so far only used in osdetect.c, but will be soon used by usetup's bootsup.c (note that some helper functions: CreateCommonFreeLdrSections()
and (Un)protectBootIni() are already taken from it and used in bldrsup.c).
- In EnumerateNTOSBootEntries(), continue enumerating the boot entries until the user callback returns an status code that is not successful.
- Remove some old code from osdetect.c; use directly BootEntry->FriendlyName when building the display names of the available installations, since now
BootEntry->FriendlyName is a PCWSTR (and not a UNICODE_STRING anymore).

[SETUPLIB] Make the NTOS_BOOT_ENTRY structure more generic, so that it can wrap around either actual NTOS boot entry options, or FreeLdr-like boot-sector options.
In a sense, the NTOS_BOOT_ENTRY structure now looks much more like the NT structure "BOOT_ENTRY".
- Adapt the code in bldrsup.c to these modifications, and re-enable FreeLdr-like boot-sector-file support code that was commented out.
More code cleanup will follow later.

- 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).
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=74717
Also, trim any potential trailing path separator from the NT disk partition path before opening the partition object itself for read/write access.

- Transform TryToStartShell() into a StartProcess() function whose aim
is just to start processes, since there is no extra initialization needed
for starting a shell process.
- Modify StartInstaller() to call StartProcess() for starting the ReactOS GUI
installer found on the installation media, from a path automatically expanded
depending on the ambient CPU architecture.
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=75331
- Don't hardcode the installer file name in ExpandInstallerPath() but
provide it from a parameter. Return TRUE/FALSE if the installer file
is/is not found.
- Expand any environment string present in the items command line.
- Enable/disable the menu buttons depending on whether or not an
associated command is present.
- Enable mirroring from resources.
- Flush the new control set after the control set has been created.
- Make sure that we create a new control set only on the first boot after setup.
- Move the control set copy code to a separate function.
- Get rid of the global control set values.
