Implement support for Win32 Namespace prefixed file name in Notepad++.
(Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#win32-file-namespaces)
Support the Win32-filenames escaped by \\?\ or \\?\UNC\, possible globbing in filenames (\\?\C:\fil?.txt) and shell links (\\?\C:\file.txt.lnk) included.
Unsupported (temporarily - it needs further patches for Notepad++):
- any raw filename with length exceeding the MAX_PATH.
- any nonstandard Windows OS filename: with 'dot' or 'space' char(s) at the name end, WinOS reserved ones: AUX, CON, PRN, NUL, COM1-9, LPT1-9 and the ones with invalid ASCII chars in it (0-31, <, >, | , ").

This fixes both the long standing problem with the emptying of the session.xml file by forced Windows Update restart/shutdown and some potential Notepad++ crashes caused by possible main Notepad++ window blocking at exit.
Two main changes to the original design:
- WM_QUERYENDSESSION is not used anymore for the tidy-up ops and it always quickly returns TRUE/FALSE to the system as it should.
- there is now a safe-guard flag for the session.xml saving at N++ exit, which prevents otherwise possible incorrect overwriting in case of multiple "endsession" messages.

* Fix certificate checking problem: the old certificate has been expired. In v8.4.2 Notepad++ & its components are signed by the new certificate. The certificate is checked before launching WinGUp (updater) to compare with the certificate key value stored in Notepad++. Updating certificate key value fixes the problem of WinUp validation, so Plugin Admin can be shown on the menu.
* Fix a typo.
Fix#11742
1. Add a cmd argument for plugin: -pluginMessage="SPECIFIC_PLUGIN_MESSQGE" where SPECIFIC_PLUGIN_MESSQGE is a string which can contain white space. For example: -pluginMessage="arg1 arg2 arg3".
2. NPPN_CMDLINEPLUGINMSG notification: which will be triggered by -pluginMessage and plugins will get their specific message "arg1 arg2 arg3" via idFrom field:
//scnNotification->nmhdr.code = NPPN_CMDLINEPLUGINMSG;
//scnNotification->nmhdr.hwndFrom = hwndNpp;
//scnNotification->nmhdr.idFrom = pluginMessage; //where pluginMessage is pointer of type wchar_t
3. Add NPPM_GETCURRENTCMDLINE API for getting the latest command line.
4. Update command line dynamically in Debug info dialog.
Fix#11576, close#11589
Add APIs: 2 new messages NPPM_ISDARKMODEENABLED & NPPM_GETDARKMODECOLORS, and 1 new notification NPPN_DARKMODECHANGED.
Fixed also a bug in dark mode for PushLike CheckBoxes.

Make external lexer library work again after upgrading to Scintilla5.
Old external lexer libraries needs to add CreateLexer export function which returns ILexer5 instance (Lexilla protocol interface of Scintilla5).
Tested with papyrus lexer plugin, this external lexer plugin is compatible with Notepad++ next release:
https://github.com/blu3mania/npp-papyrusClose#11468
Update with https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla521.ziphttps://www.scintilla.org/lexilla515.zip
- fix setting to bring Scintilla::PositionCR from ScintillaStructures.h inline with Sci_Position.h Sci_PositionCR
- add workaround to enable lexer for searchResult
commented out SCI_SETILEXER call on searchResult to get one result which is correctly handled by the lexer,
added comment about the current problem with property @MarkingsStruct which seems to disappear after call to SCI_SETILEXER or CreateLexer
- corrected usage of ObjC lexer
- removed unnecessary filter stuff
- use own sections for scintilla and lexilla build targets and allow parallel builds
- as libscilex is no longer existing, changed to libscintilla
- adapt makefiles and cmake
- use VS2019
- started simple changes for createlexer adaptations, nullpointercheck missing on return of lexer name from deprecated LexerNameFromID -> undefined behaviour
- movement from id -> lexer name, mostly done via LexerNameFromID + switching off corresponding compiler warning
- changed to SCI_SETILEXER from SCI_SETLEXER, SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE needs to be corrected, see Scintilla5Migration.html
- just commented out: SCI_LOADLEXERLIBRARY
Fix#10504, close#11419
In commit f9118dd13c **"npp-compatible-versions"** has been added in plugin list for helping not only Plugin Admin, but also Plugin Manager (Plugin Loader) to check the compatibility with the latest version of plugin (if the version of installed plugin is the latest one).
However, if the version of installed plugin is the previous one, there's no info to know if this plugin with old version is compatible with running Notepad++. In order to filter better old version plugins, **"old-versions-compatibility"** is added in plugin list, so Plugin Manager can use it to check the compatibility to decide load it or not.
The value of "old-versions-compatibility" is a string made by 2 interval versions as following:
`"old-versions-compatibility": "[,2.6][,8.2.1]"`
The first interval versions are for old plugin versions: [,2.6] means from all the versions to v2.6 included.
The second interval versions are for Notepad++ versions: [,8.2.1] means from all the versions to v8.2.1 included.
Both interval versions together means: the plugin in question from the 1st version to v2.6 is compatible with Notepad++ v8.2.1 and all Notepad++ previous versions.
Here is the sample:
```json
{
"folder-name": "mimeTools",
"display-name": "Mime tools",
"version": "2.7",
"npp-compatible-versions": "[8.3,]",
"old-versions-compatibility": "[,2.6][,8.2.1]",
"id": "b65fbfaa15b443131eb69188069cacbff04eca66e0cb84130631303a1d3895f8",
"repository": "https://github.com/npp-plugins/mimetools/releases/download/v2.7/mimetools.v2.7.zip",
"description": "Implements several main functionalities defined in MIME.",
"author": "Don HO",
"homepage": "https://github.com/npp-plugins/mimetools"
},
```
Considering these 2 scenarios:
1. The current distributed plugin version is v2.7 (the latest one normally), and it is compatible with all Notepad++ version from v8.3. If installed MineTools plugin is v2.7 and running Notepad++ is v8.3.3 then it's OK, and MineTools v2.7 will be loaded.
2. If installed MineTools plugin is v2.6 and running Notepad++ is v8.3.3 then Plugin Manager learns it's a previous version (v2.6 < v2.7), so it will check "old-versions-compatibility" - it will find v2.6 is in the 1st interval [,2.6] - it's matched, then Plugin Manager keep checking the running Notepad++'s compatibility: v8.3.3 is not in the 2nd interval [,8.2.1] - it's not compatible, then MineTools plugin v2.6 won't be loaded.
Here are the test instructions for this PR:
1. download x64 debug binary here:
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/5ba501ecu21k28i7/artifacts/Notepad%2B%2B.x64.Debug.exe
2. Create an empty file "nppPluginList.json" in your `npp\plugins\Config\`
and copy the following content
5e23fce868/src/pl.x64.json
and paste into `npp\plugins\Config\nppPluginList.json`
You have to copy "updater" folder (which contains GUP.exe) to enable plugin list.
3. Download DSpellCheck plugin v1.4.22 which is not compatible with Notepad++ from v8.3 and later version here:
https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/download/v1.4.22/DSpellCheck_x64.zip
Install it into plugin folder manually.
4. Now launch Notepad++ x64 debug binary and watch it crash.
5. Edit "nppPluginList.json" by adding `"old-versions-compatibility": "[,1.4.22][,8.2.1]",` into DSpellCheck section.
6. Startup Notepad++. Notepad++ doesn't crash. and now you can check DSpellCheck plugin is not loaded on the startup.

A new ability for checking plugins' compatibility with running Notepad++ has been added in Plugin List & Plugin Admin (a06b404708).
This PR extends this ability by using Plugin Admin's plugin list to filter plugins to load - if any plugin to load with **the same folder name**, **the same version** (as in the plugin list) and it's **not compatible** with the running Notepad++ version found while loading plugins, it will be skipped for being loaded.

4 new API are added:
- NPPM_GETEXTERNALLEXERAUTOINDENTMODE
- NPPM_SETEXTERNALLEXERAUTOINDENTMODE
- NPPM_ISAUTOINDENTON
- NPPM_GETCURRENTMACROSTATUS
* Added support for custom auto-indentation for external lexer.
* Also added messages to fetch current Macro status (Idle, Recording, Stopped, Running) -> for this also affects auto-indentation behavior.
* Also added capability to query for the current User Settings of "Use Auto Indentation".

Removing the 'case sensitive' default flag FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS fixes the CreateFile ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND, when working with files like "C:\Windows\Sysnative\drivers\etc\hosts".
Without the FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS the WIN32 IO (CreateFile/WriteFile) way will be equivalent with the previously used POSIX IO (fopen/fwrite) way.

This PR allows users to provide the list of excluding folder names/patterns in "Filters" field.
Eclusion operator is alway "!" at the begining. In order to distinguish folder from file, "\" should be used as prefix of the folder name/pattern, following "!". That allows the exclusion of the directories under the root directory you want to search (the 1st level of matched directories).
If users need to exclude folders with the same name (or names matched the specific pattern) in all levels, the + should be put between "!" and "\" to exclude them recursively.
Here is a sample:
Filters: *.* !\bin !+\test !+\log*
Directory: c:\myProject\
So the excluded directories could be:
c:\myProject\bin\
c:\myProject\log\
c:\myProject\logs\
c:\myProject\src\log4j\
c:\myProject\test\
c:\myProject\src\test\
The following directories will not be excluded:
c:\myProject\foo\tests\
c:\myProject\foo\bin\
Note that "inclusion of folder" is not allowed, and such pattern will be ignored.

These logs are written for debugging NUL file-corruption issue (#6133) and session lost issue (#10402) which are still problematic probably.
The writting log info will be triggered only when Windows notifies Notepad++ to end session.
The log file will be in "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\" or in Notepad++ installation folder if doLocalConf.xml is present.
To disable the log, just remove nppLogNulContentCorruptionIssue.xml.

And add log ability for debugging network drive file status detection issue.
To activate log, user should:
1. Add an empty "nppLogNetworkDriveIssue.xml" file beside of notepad++.exe, or if user has no admin previlege, he/she can add this file into %APPDATA%\Notepad++\.
2. Create "C:\temp\" directory, if it doesn't exist yet.
3. Start notepad++.exe, and wait for the file status (timestamp) detection error from the network drive. If the errors occur, there should be some trace in "C:\temp\nppLogNetworkDriveIssue.log".
People who have had the network drive file status detection issue in #10688, #10753, #10757, #10751 & #10787 are welcome to download the binary and provide the generated log in order to fix this issue.

Some users encounter the issue that files cannot be saved sometimes.
It's due to the share parameter in CreateFile() set as 0, which makes sense for preventing other process from accessing to the file being written. However, when Notepad++ tries to write the file, it opens the file for writing. If at that moment the file is already opened by other program and the share flag is zero, then the system is instructed to deny opening the file on share conflict and the open fails.
Setting share parameter to "FILE_SHARE_READ" instead of 0 solve this problem.

Usage:
void NPPM_ADDTOOLBARICON_FORDARKMODE(UINT funcItem[X]._cmdID, toolbarIconsWithDarkMode iconHandles)
This new API NPPM_ADDTOOLBARICON_FORDARKMODE is for replacing obsolete NPPM_ADDTOOLBARICON which doesn't support the dark mode.
2 formats / 3 icons are needed: 1 * BMP + 2 * ICO
All 3 handles below should be set so the icon will be displayed correctly if toolbar icon sets are changed by users, also in dark mode.

1. Add an option for displying constant line number width in Preferences dialog.
This option set the line number constant width according the total line number in the document (minimun 4 digits).
It ensures no unexpected visual effect while scrolling content vertically.
If the document content is modified and the total number of lines is increased or decreased, more digits will be added or removed according the number of digits in total number of lines.
2. Add new plugin messages NPPM_GETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE & NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE for getting or setting LINENUMWIDTH_DYNAMIC / LINENUMWIDTH_CONSTANT.
So plugins may send NPPM_SETLINENUMBERWIDTHMODE message with LINENUMWIDTH_CONSTANT to Notepad++ for avoiding some unexpected visual effect (while scrolling).
