Andrew Tridgell 3a3025485b r7633: this patch started as an attempt to make the dcerpc code use a given
event_context for the socket_connect() call, so that when things that
use dcerpc are running alongside anything else it doesn't block the
whole process during a connect.

Then of course I needed to change any code that created a dcerpc
connection (such as the auth code) to also take an event context, and
anything that called that and so on .... thus the size of the patch.

There were 3 places where I punted:

  - abartlet wanted me to add a gensec_set_event_context() call
    instead of adding it to the gensec init calls. Andrew, my
    apologies for not doing this. I didn't do it as adding a new
    parameter allowed me to catch all the callers with the
    compiler. Now that its done, we could go back and use
    gensec_set_event_context()

  - the ejs code calls auth initialisation, which means it should pass
    in the event context from the web server. I punted on that. Needs fixing.

  - I used a NULL event context in dcom_get_pipe(). This is equivalent
    to what we did already, but should be fixed to use a callers event
    context. Jelmer, can you think of a clean way to do that?

I also cleaned up a couple of things:

 - libnet_context_destroy() makes no sense. I removed it.

 - removed some unused vars in various places

This is the registry library. The registry is basically a bunch of hives 
that can be loaded from different places.

The various registry backends provide support for loading/saving specific types 
of hives:
 - ldb 
 - w95 (USER.DAT-style files)
 - nt4 (NTUSER.DAT-style files)
 - gconf (GNOME configuration)
 - rpc (Remote individual hives)

Instead of opening individual hives, one can also open a 'complete' registry by 
using one of these three functions:
 
 - reg_open_local() - load local registry, see below
 - reg_open_remote() - connect to remote registry over RPC
 - reg_open_wine() (not working yet)

reg_open_local() loads a set of hives based on smb.conf settings. 
Lines in smb.conf should have the following syntax:

registry:<hivename> = <backend>:<location>

So an example usage could be:

registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER = nt4:NTUSER.DAT
registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = ldb:tdb://registry.tdb

WERR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned for all hives that haven't been set.

On Windows the various registry hives are loaded from:

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
HKEY_CURRENT_USER: %Profile%\NTUser.dat
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Sam
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Security
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Default
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE: is autogenerated
