[Samba] Windows 7 RC

[airwofl]

So, I did some digging through Bug 6099 on Bugzilla and read the comments (
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6099
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6099 ). I followed the guidance
of Guenther and only the following regkeys are required to get domain
joining and login working with Windows 7 RTM to Samba 3.3.7 acting as PDC:

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
        DWORD  DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
        DWORD  DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0

The other two need to be at the system defaults of 1:

HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Netlogon\Parameters
        DWORD  RequireSignOnSeal = 1
        DWORD  RequireStrongKey = 1
