Packaging: documentation and symbol files for os2dasd.f32 and partfilt.flt should not be installed by default

Description

As os2dasd.f32 and partfilt.flt should not be installed on an LVM system, and as these are in a separate pack in the installer, their related documentation and symbol files should also be moved to a separate pack so that they are not left "orphaned" when os2dasd.f32 and partfilt.flt have not been installed.

Starting from r196, I moved partfilt.sym to "Optional drivers' symbol files" package, and partfilt.doc+partfilt.txt to "Optional drivers documentation" package. Also, I added a third package which will contain an updated version of ifs.inf file (not installed too by default). Also, I added CHKDSK and SYS standalone versions, plus win32 versions of FAT32 utilities (a separate .zip file). (FORMAT was ported from win32, so I decided to preserve its win32 version, plus extend the win32 routines, and based on that, port CHKDSK and SYS back to win32). Note that a win32 version of CHKDSK still contains a bug, which corrupts the root directory, if it is written a file to. So, please experiment with flash disks which contain nothing important :) But FORMAT and SYS looks to be safe (They don't try creating files "manually", i.e., with direct FS manipulation, instead of DosWrite).

Updated FAT32 is available at usual place: http://trac.netlabs.org/fat32/.
