Firebird 2 Bug Fixes

Windows-specific

(CORE-1602) Trusted authentication was not mapping domain administrators to the SYSDBA login.

(CORE-1593) Windows rules for full domain user names allow names longer than the 31 characters allowed by Firebird. Firebird was accepting such names via trusted authentication and failure was messy. Now, the 31-character limit is enforced and logins passing longer names are disabled. (This will remain the situation until the mapping of OS objects to database objects is implemented in a later Firebird version.)
