Trying to improve DC location & browsing performance for the average user
who doesn't know what an LMB or DMB is.
* check_master_browser_exists now performs the check the first time
around, so if there is indeed no master browser then Samba takes up the job
much faster.
* Upped default OS level to 32. There is no reason why some stupid little
Windows box should become LMB instead of a Samba *server*.
* "domain master" now defaults to "auto". Currently this attempts to
become DMB iff Samba is the PDC (ala Windows NT). "preferred master" also
defaults to "auto", which enables preferred master iff Samba is DMB.
* lp_server_role now just returns the predetermined role, rather than
working it out each time, since the server role is becoming very heavily
used (esp for the BDC code).
(This used to be commit 4a23a358b5ad8873acb7db11f27b87d2a016bec1)
