    [FREELDR] Code fixes and enhancements.
    CORE-9023
    
    FIXES:
    ======
    
    - Fix parsing of the multiboot options string.
      NOTE: They are not yet treated in a case-insensitive manner!
    
    - Fix a bug in ArcOpen() so that it correctly skips the first path
      separator (after the adapter-controller-peripheral ARC descriptors).
      The path separator can be either a backslash or a slash (both are
      allowed according to the specs); they were also already handled
      correctly in other parts of the code.
    
    - Fix DissectArcPath() so as to:
      * **OPTIONALLY** (and not mandatorily!) return the path part that follows
        the ARC adapter-controller-peripheral elements in the ARC path;
    
      * make it correctly handle the (yes, optional!!) partition() part in the
        ARC path, for the multi(x)disk(y)rdisk(z) cases.
    
    ENHANCEMENTS:
    =============
    
    - Directly retrieve the default OS entry as we enumerate them and
      build their list (i.e. merge the GetDefaultOperatingSystem() helper
      within InitOperatingSystemList()).
    
    - Directly use the opened 'FreeLoader' INI section via its ID in the
      different functions that need it.
    
    - Make the custom-boot and linux loaders honour the boot options they are
      supposed to support (see FREELDR.INI documentation / template).
      This includes the 'BootDrive' and 'BootPartition' (alternatively the ARC
      'BootPath').
      This also allows them to take into account the user-specified choices in 
the
      FreeLdr custom-boot editors.
    
    - Modify the FreeLdr custom-boot editors so as to correctly honour
      the  priorities of the boot options as specified in the FREELDR.INI
      documentation / template.
    
    - Use stack trick (union of structs) to reduce stack usage in the
      FreeLdr custom-boot editors, because there are strings buffers that are
      used in an alternate manner.
    
    - Extract out from the editors the LoadOperatingSystem() calls, and
      move it back into OptionMenuCustomBoot(), so that when this latter
      function is called there is no risk of having a stack almost full.
    
    - When building the ARC-compatible argument vector for the loaders, add
      the mandatory "SystemPartition" path. This allows the loaders to NOT
      call the machine-specific MachDiskGetBootPath() later on (this data is
      indeed passed to them by the boot manager part of FreeLdr).
    
    - Improve the FsOpenFile() helper so as to make it:
      * return an adequate ARC_STATUS instead of a mere uninformative BOOLEAN;
      * take open options, as well as a default path (optional) that would be
        prepended to the file name in case the latter is a relative one.
    
    - Make RamDiskLoadVirtualFile() return an actual descriptive ARC_STATUS
      value, and make it take an optional default path (same usage as the one
      in FsOpenFile() ).
      + Remove useless NTAPI .
    
    - UiInitialize() and TuiTextToColor(), TuiTextToFillStyle(): load or
      convert named settings into corresponding values using setting table and
      a tight for-loop, instead of duplicating 10x the same parameter reading
      logic.
    
    - UiInitialize(): Open the "Display" INI section just once. Remove usage
      of DisplayModeText[] buffer.
    
    - UiShowMessageBoxesInSection() and UiShowMessageBoxesInArgv(): reduce
      code indentation level.
    
    ENHANCEMENTS for NT OS loader:
    ==============================
    
    - Don't use MachDiskGetBootPath() but use instead the "SystemPartition"
      value passed via the ARC argument vector by the boot manager
      (+ validation checks). Use it as the "default path" when calling
      FsOpenFile() or loading the ramdisk.
    
    - Honour the FreeLdr-specific "Hal=" and "Kernel=" options by converting
      them into NT standard "/HAL=" and "/KERNEL=" options in the boot
      command line.
    
      Note that if the latter ones are already present on the standard 
"Options="
      option line, they would take precedence over those passed via the separate
      "Hal=" and "Kernel=" FreeLdr-specific options.
    
      Also add some documentation links to Geoff Chappell's website about
      how the default HAL and KERNEL names are chosen depending on the
      detected underlying platform on which the NT OS loader is running.
