        API: Added DiskGroupGuid property to DynamicDisk.

1.4.4 - Bugfix: DynamicVolumeHelper looked for volume extents outside of the disk group.
        Bugfix: RetainHelper.IsVolumeRetained did not properly iterate components of mirrored volume.
        NTFS: Properly trim result array when caller tries to read more bytes than the record contains.
        NTFS: Return empty byte array when trying to read from offset larger than file length.
        LockHelper.LockAllVolumesOrNone will attempt to lock only mounted volumes.
