When Windows attempts to create a new key, it looks for an available key name
starting with "New Key #1" and iterating up to "New Key #99" before giving up.
ldb_open_key() calls reg_path_to_ldb() to build the appropriate dn from the key
name. reg_path_to_ldb() was not catching the error returned by
ldb_dn_add_base_fmt() due to the unescaped '#' character, causing the returned
dn to be that of the parent key, not the potential new key. Additionally,
Windows expects a return value of WERR_BADFILE when a key does not exist, but
WERR_NOT_FOUND was being returned instead. Correcting the building of the dn
and the providing the expected return value allows new key creation to succeed.
When attempting to delete a key, Windows passes the complete path to the key,
not just the name of the child key to be deleted. Using reg_path_to_ldb() to
build the correct dn allows key deletion to succeed.
