[PATCH] Implement machinepass= in 'net ads join'

G'day,

These patches add (and add tests for) a new machinepass= option for 'net
ads join'. 

This makes this match 'samba-tool domain join'.  For master and 4.0,
this is not strictly required, as a workaround is to call 'samba-tool
domain join'.  However, I've been asked to backport this to 3.6, for
Univention at least, and I think having the capability is a reasonable
addition in any case.

The only thing is that in all these tools, we don't try and wipe the
password from the command line, but I'm not worried by this. 

The first patch is needed because the included tests showed that we in
fact did not correct set the machine password in the testsuite's calls
to 'samba-tool', so adding tests here has already been a worthwhile
exercise.  

Please review/push/comment.  

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
