Special case hostfiles handling for libntfs-3g.so

The ntfs-3g project keeps bumping their soname, and this causes
dependency problems for the Fedora package.  The root of the problem
is we depend on /lib/libntfs-3g.so.<N>, but if <N> keeps bumping,
the dependency keeps breaking.

This commit changes the hostfiles (and hence dependency) to be on
/lib/libntfs-3g.so.* instead.  The downside to this is we could end
up pulling more files into the appliance than are strictly required,
but it will fix the Fedora packaging problems being felt by the
Fedora maintainer of ntfs-3g.

After applying this commit, the change to hostfiles looks like this:

inspector: Read information about Windows guests from the Registry.

This commit changes substantially the way that we get information
about Windows guests.  We now use the Windows Registry to get
information such as the version, product name and much else.

This uses Win::Hivex (ie. the hivex library).  'reged' is no longer
needed or used.

As an incidental change, this also tries harder to search for
%systemroot%, in the case when we cannot find boot.ini (ie.
Windows Vista and more recent).  This ensures we can get more

More complete fix for bash regexp quoting bug.

Commit 457fccae1b665347 was not a complete fix, in that it
didn't work properly on RHEL 5 era bash (3.2.x).  For example:

  file=libntfs-3g.so.74
  [[ "$file" =~ ^lib(.*)\.so\.([0-9]+)\. ]] && \
    echo "lib${BASH_REMATCH[1]}.so.${BASH_REMATCH[2]}.*"

would on those old shells print:

  libntfs-3g.so.7.*

It seems the final \. was being treated as a plain period (ie.
match anything).

The only way to work around this incompatibility is to assign the
patterns to variables and match on those, ie:

  p='^lib(.*)\.so\.([0-9]+)\.'
  [[ "$file" =~ $p ]] && ...
