Change all Platform 'windows' to 'win', as it internally is an alias
anyway and only causes unnecessary confusion to have two platform names
that mean the same.
1.) Now grabs clear-text user hint from XP systems in addition to
Win7/Win8 systems
2.) Changes output so it's no longer inline with hashes as not to
affect copy/paste of hashes output
3.) Adding alternate text in cases when no user hints are available
* 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
-This commit Addresses Metasploit Bug #4402 that notes corrupted (aka:
incorrect) hashes yielded from hashdump
-Fail case can be reliably reproduced on a Windows system where (1) a
user is not storing an LM hash and (2) password histories are enabled
on the system
-This issue along with other extraction tools that are affected in a
similar way will be discussed at BlackHat USA 2012 and DEFCON 20 in 2
weeks.

Under certain conditions, the module may run into an "The handle
is invalid" while obtaining registry keys and values from the
victim machine. The fix is to retry a couple of times, and hope
we don't hit the race condition again.
