Summary: Default to buffer for win32ts.WTSQuerySessionInformation

Initial Comment:
Currently win32ts.WTSQuerySessionInformation raises a PyExc_NotImplementedError exception in those cases where no specific interpretation of the results has been provided.  It would be more useful if, instead of an exception, it would return a buffer object with the raw contents of the buffer that the api function returned copied into it.  Then the user could use something like struct.unpack_from(fmt, buffer [,offset = 0]) to interpret the results as needed.

Something like (untested):

	switch (WTSInfoClass){
                ...
		default:
                        void *newbuf
                        ret=PyBuffer_New(bufsize);
                        ret->ob_type->tp_as_buffer->bf_getwritebuffer(ret, 0, &newbuf);
                        memcpy(newbuf, buf, bufsize);
		}
