Review BCU performance (read NTFS' MFT?)

See original GitHub issue

BCU’s startup and scan time can be quite long. Do you know where current performance bottlenecks are? Searching the registry? Finding files? Reading files?

If it’s the second might it help (and be worth the effort) to scan the MFT?

I’m testing an implementation with MFT on a new branch https://github.com/Klocman/Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller/tree/ntfs-mft

For now the implementation is inefficient and needs work so I don’t recommend using it.

Everything is currently used through the command line tool to get directory sizes (if it’s installed) https://github.com/Klocman/Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller/blob/f9ddbea5a3cd881a7233e61f50eb98d19596b3bd/source/UninstallTools/Factory/InfoAdders/FastSizeGenerator.cs#L81-L94

I didn’t add more functionality because the size scan was the main bottleneck and implementing a full wrapper around file IO would need a lot of work for potentially little return.
