Jelmer Vernooij 0515f728e6 r21433: Get rid of the COM support code - it's not used and unmaintained. We can
always bring it back if we need to. This code was getting in the way while
refactoring.

Add some tests for TDR.

Get rid of typedef in lib/registry/tdr_regf.idl and fix the
TDR code to be able to deal with it.
(This used to be commit 1ad0f99a439f0d52a735b391bf9900d50171aca5)

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
