[Samba] SAMBA4 API

[Taylor Hammerling]

We aren't using BIND, we are using the builtin SAMBA backend.  Also the
requests for updates are going to come from external to the DC.  IE, the
inventory server needs to send a request to the DC to add/update/remove etc
DNS records.  This is why I'm looking for an API.
