PDC Suppport

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The long awaited full PDC support will make its debut in Samba 3.0. It has been mostly prototyped by Luke Leighton in the experimental SAMBA_TNG branch and now just needs to be integrated into 3.0 for production use.

The code allows Samba to participate as a full PDC or BDC in a NT domain. Most of the work in done by a separate msrpcd daemon, communicating with smbd via a unix domain socket.

Right now the MSRPC code is implemented by hand in C, but some work is being done to reimplement it via a code generator.
