#25 Speed up some writing into Ini files

[Pierre Fauconnier]

A very convenient feature of SynEdit : write configuration into 'Ini-files', is a bit slow while writing into an USB flash device. Changing from TIniFile to TMemIniFile seems to speed up the process.

Best regards,
Pierre.

The parameter could just be changed to TCustomIniFile, so it keeps code compatibility but at least allows the user to pass in an TMemIniFile instance.
