Summary0021202: Improve handling of hard drive serial numbers
DescriptionCurrently, we rely heavily on serial numbers for drive letter assignment. It's usually not that much useful as it used to be for removable media in the past.

One particular area of focus should be that the GetVolumeLabelAndSN( DrvL, DI.VolumeLabel, DI.SerialNumber); call in _UpdateDriveLetters() can be stalled (for several minutes in my case, when a network drive isn't accessible) which causes the whole MM to malfunction (not showing any track related data anywhere in the UI).

We either should get rid of the call for most cases (like for other than removable media??) or run it separatelly in a thread and thus not to block the base processing of the initial accessible media scan.
TagsNo tags attached.

Verified 3054

I have not found any regressions I even went to mounting 8 drives from NAS and Other PC, disconnecting after mounting and then starting MM.

@jiri please retest, I think this works now.
