RFC - Bug 22974 - "Shell folders" settings are reset after each wine update

[Olivier F. R. Dierick]

Hello,

I would like the latest patchset from bug 22974 reviewed.

Bug 22974 - "Shell folders" settings are reset after each wine update
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22974

v2 Patch 1/2 shell32: Move and split _SHCreateSymbolicLinks()
https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=65285

v2 Patch 2/2 shell32: Create symbolic links rather than directories for specific user shell folders
https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=65286

--- quote from bug 22974 comment 27 ---
Patch 1/2:
- Splits the _SHCreateSymbolicLinks() into folder type-specific
functions, keeping the old logic intact. This way the different folders
can be handled separately.
- It also fixes some trailing whitespace in the moved code but that's
negligible.

Patch 2/2:
- Adds a helper function that creates a single symbolic link at a time,
for the folders we are interested in.
- Calls the helper function where the old code did only create a
directory.
- Disables the removal of existing symlinks/directories, in the symlink
creation functions.
- Also says to not create the folder when looking up for its path for
the symlink, to avoid an infinite loop.
