New APIs: hivex_*
Transscribe many hivex(3) APIs into the libguestfs API.
There is one hive handle per libguestfs handle, as with Augeas.
Note that hivex uses iconv_open for some APIs (eg. hivex_value_string).
But since we delete all the i18n files from the appliance, this
doesn't work -- iconv_open returns EINVAL. Therefore hivex APIs which
require iconv cannot be bound in the daemon.
