Hermès Bélusca-Maïto a46e1e96ec [BOOTDATA][CMAKE][MKSHELLLINK] Improve shell link shortcuts creation for the LiveImage (#8936)
CORE-15156, CORE-19691, CORE-19692

Finally get rid of the livecd_start.cmd hack introduced waaaay back
in commit ff6d7b0236 (r54514)!
See also commits ea682b6909 (r54512) and 71867403fd (r54513).

For target paths, use the shell "special shell folder" syntax:
`shell:windows\...` or `shell:system\...`, introduced in commit
7b081be46d (PR #7158) by Whindmar Saksit.

Specify an explicit icon path and index for the "Read Me.lnk" shortcut.

Includes ideas from PR #7154 by Katayama Hirofumi MZ.

The generated shell links are confirmed to work on ReactOS, but also on
Windows 2003 and Windows 7.

- Change the MKSHELLLINK icon parameter syntax to be: `-i [icon_path[,nr]]`
  where, either both `icon_path` and icon index are given, separated by
  a comma ',' , or, either the `icon_path` is given but the index is
  optional (default: 0), or, only the icon index is given, in which case
  the icon path is set to the target instead.

- Use a `VERBATIM` command-line for `add_custom_command()`, so that *nix
  builds can cope with parameters containing backslashes.

- The shortcut target path, working directory, command-line arguments,
  and icon path all may specify explicit Win32 environment variables
  (like `%SystemRoot%`, `%HOMEDRIVE%`, etc.). Because these environment
  variables are specified as data given to the build tool via CMake,
  **AND** we have to workaround keeping these variables unexpanded when
  they are transmitted to the tool via CMD.EXE (on builds made on Windows),
  specify these variables in an "escaped" format, using `^%` instead:
  `^%SystemRoot^%`, etc.
  Additionally these paths may be explicitly quoted and passed that way
  to the MKSHELLLINK tool.

  In order to deal with both unquoting the strings and unescaping the
  environment variables, introduce a helper function and invoke them on
  the aforementioned strings.
