Samba AD DC and winbindd

Hi, there appears to be a regression with winbindd on a DC.

If you are using 4.2.8 and have the line 'winbind use default domain = 
yes' in smb.conf and use wbinfo, id or getent to show a users info, you 
get something like this:

getent passwd user1
user1:*:10000:10000::/home/user1:/bin/sh

Note the lack of domain name.

If you now upgrade to 4.3.0, do no other changes and then run the same 
command, you get this:

TEST\user1:*:10000:10000::/home/user1:/bin/sh

The 'winbind use default domain = yes' line is now ignored.
