Some findings on modern Windows builds #16

Description

@Zzt47073

Starting from build 14993 and onword, Windows no longer relies on Software Policy to store expiration date.
Starting from build ????? (have not researched yet) to at least build 25267, expiration time is "hardcoded" in ci library (ci.dll).
You can refer to ci!CiGetBuildExpiryTime for more information. (don't forget to download symbols for ci.dll!)
On beta builds(such as build 17127), it contains code to provide the expiration date. However, on retail builds(such as build 17128), it's just a stub.
