[Libguestfs] [PATCH 3/3] lib: Add support for creating nodes (keys) and values with UTF-16LE-encoded names

Sorry, I'll fix those. I also forgot to add a free() in
hivex_node_set_values.

Are there any non-BMP characters that can be encoded in Latin1 -- or
whatever 1-byte encoding one is supposed to use there?

Peter Norris' master's thesis[1] suggests that

    recoded_name_len : recoded_name_len * 2

is probably right.
