[Libguestfs] [PATCH] convert_windows: uninstall Parallels Tools on first boot

If present, Parallels Tools may stand in the way of proper running the
windows guests in non-Parallels hypervisors, so we're better off
uninstalling them on the first boot into the new environment.

With this patch, the uninstall records for Parallels Tools are looked up
in the registry and, if found, corresponding firstboot actions are
registered, taking special care that those actions are run fully
unattended.
