databases can be NTDB now.

+ As of Samba 4.1, the NTDB format can be used if 'use ntdb' is set. In this case, tdb files are automatically converted to ntdb files (with the .ntdb extension). The old .tdb file is turned into a dangling symlink to 'This is now in an NTDB' to prevent it being accidentally used). The table indicates what databases are currently available as NTDB files.
