Fixes to smb-brute.nse

A couple people reported a bug to me in smb-brute.nse. In recent
versions, it doesn't detect account lockouts properly and locks out
every account (if lockouts are enabled). That was a stupid mistake on my
part, I was checking a return condition incorrectly.

I fixed this in r16350, which I suggest should be copied to 5.21 -- it's
a bug that can be harmful in certain cases.

I also made a couple of bigger changes to the script. As of r16538 and
r16551, smb-brute.nse can check the domain's account lockout policy to
see if accounts are labeled before ever trying. Those revisions probably
need a little more testing, so I wouldn't suggest them for 5.21, but
they should be helpful in the future.
