TNG: making %U work again for logon path et. al.

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

patrick, i added your patch in already.

 and the correct fix is to make get_sec_ctx() read the right vuser_key so
that standard_sub_vuser() can "grab" the right info.

which means a bit of a catch-22 situation, as it's confusing to create the
right info at the right point.

for preference, the %U etc should be substituted in srv_netlogon.c in the
netr_sam_logon function, but THAT means we need a Unicode version of
standard_sub_vuser() and standard_sub_basic()!!!
