Add thread for CreateFile to fix saving disconnected network file hanging.
STR: Open a network file, modify it. Disconnect the network, then save the file. A huge latency (more than 1 minute) can be observed.
Not that the crash is not reproducible anymore by this PR. If any crash happens for you, please let me know (with the STR).

Refactoring for reducing the I/O calls, fix typos.
Reduce the startup time (while the a dirty disconnected network file is in the session) from about 12-15 seconds to about 6 seconds (on my laptop).
Note that there are 2 cases are not improved by the commit:
* STR 1: Open a network file, modify it. Disconnect the network, then save the file.
There will be a huge hanging time (around 1 minute) to get the warning dialog.
I tried to remedy with thread for CreateFileW in the constructor of Win32_IO_File, however it leads crash due to the lock guard in the caller.
* STR 2:
1. Open a network file.
2. Close Notepad++ to have it in the session.
3. Disconnect the network, and launch Notepad++ immediately.
4. Around more than 1 minute's delay, then the "Error" dialog displayed.
The reason of hanging is that the network file was detected by "doesFileExist" as true, so Notepad++ was trying to open non-existent file (by _wfopen).
I believe that there's some kind of cache during the very short period for the IO function (here's our case GetFileAttributes), and such cache is not immediately synchronized (cleared) while network disconnected. As a result, when we launch Notepad++ after the disconnection of network, GetFileAttributes keeps its memory & responds "FileExists". However for _wfopen it doesn't see the resource of network anymore - that makes hanging.

The issue is due to WinAPI's GetFileAttributes function can take a huge amount of time in various situations, like when the target server being offline (usalally).
The current solution is to wait at least 3 seconds for each GetFileAttributes function, then return the default value in case of the problem (or the returned value of the function, in case of normal situation - if it has been executed completely during the 3 seconds).
So there'll still be the hanging time (3 or 6 seconds) while the problem of network connection, but the hanging time (it could be 30 seconds more) is reduced considerablly.
"Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection" call is also removed from x64 build (in which this call is unnecessary) in this commit to reduce the IO calls.

The "ambiguous" symbols (TCHAR & generic_string) are used when Notepad++ suppoted both ANSI & Unicode formats.
Since ANSI format of Notepad++ has been dropped (since long time ago), TCHAR & generic_string will be replaced by wchar_t & wstring respectively.

Currently we cannot accept e.g. the "\\?\C:\file.", but when someone tries to open the standard variant 'C:\file.', we should accept that, as this is the way how to work with filenames without an extension.

Use reference instead of copy for the sorting result.
Also improve lines sorting performance slightly: Sorting a 200 MB text file takes 13.71 seconds instead of 14.63 seconds.

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, <, >, | , ").

1. Add plus and arrow buttons on menu bar beside of 'X' button:
- plus button: for adding a new document
- arrow button: display a drop down list for all opened files to offer users quick access of switching file
2. Enhance the most recent opened file list: Increase maximun file number to 30.

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.

1. Add new commands to copy selected files name/path into multi-selection context menu in Document List.
2. Add new commands to copy all files name/path into Edit > Copy to Clipboard.
3. Create a new function buf2Clipborad() to be used in all similar commands.
4. Fix the translation of the Document List multi-selection context menu.

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.

1. Rename CFile to Win32_IO_File (plus some modification in class).
2. Add new method writeStr() in Win32_IO_File class to write "char*" & string.
3. Change method names of Utf8_16_Write class and make writeFile() method return accurate type (boolean).
