utils: add set_windows_hostname
Add function to redefine the hostname of a Windows install. Windows hostnames can't be larger than 15 characters due to legacy heritage. Hostname modification is done by modifying 3 registry values in the ControlSetXXX entry of the SYSTEM hive. ControlSet001 is generally the entry to be edited but one must query the value of the 'Current' key in the 'Select' entry of the SYSTEM hive to retrieve the active ControlSet. The hostname has to be introduced in the following entries: path = 'ControlSetXX/Control/ComputerName/ComputerName' key = 'ComputerName' path = 'ControlSetXXX/Services/Tcpip/Parameters' key = 'HostName' key = 'NV Hostname' The value to store in those keys is of tipe SZ and has to be encoded in UCS-2 Little Endian (utf-16-le).
