I've nearly completed the computer subcommand. I'm just working on the
tests.

This is the current set:

# bin/samba-tool computer
Usage: samba-tool computer <subcommand>

Computer management.

Options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Available subcommands:
  create  - Create a new computer.
  delete  - Delete a computer.
  list    - List all computers.
  move    - Move an computer to an organizational unit/container.
  show    - Display an computer AD object.
For more help on a specific subcommand, please type: samba-tool computer
<subcommand> (-h|--help)

Yes, I thought some time about the trailing-$ issue. I decided to make
this (magically) optional:

The list command lists the whole sAMAccountName, e.g. pc1$.

If you use create pc1, it will create pc1$. If you create pc$, it will
also create pc$. If you try to create pc$$, it will throw an error,
becuase pc$$ is also not allowed by the windows RSAT tools.

The move command works like the move command in the user, computer and
OU sub command, which I've provided on January 25th. In the computer sub
command also with or without the trailing $.

Best regards,
Björn
