[PATCH] Messaging improvements and fixes needed for auth logging

[Andrew Bartlett]

To test the auth and authz logging, we decided to use the messaging
layer (details in our auth-logging branch in Catalyst's repo), as we
have bindings for that in python.

It turned out that there were a number of issues in these layers, both
the incomplete python bindings (they never previously worked: the tests
were not actually tests) and an issue in the serverid database due to
the way tdb_fetch_talloc() behaved with zero-length records.

The attached patches addresses both issues and allows us to build a
robust testsuite for authentication and authorization logging!

Please review!
