LazUtils Changes

Masks unit

The masks unit has been completely rewritten.
Reasons:

  • speed: the old Matches() method had O(n^2) or even O(n^3) characteristics.
  • improved control over how the mask is interpreted.

New types (for parameters) and a dedicated TMaskWindows class have been added.
TMask.MatchesWindowsMask and the old TMaskOptions type have been deprecated an will be removed in the next release.
