Subject: [PATCH 10/16] lib: allow to walk registry with corrupted blocks

Only when HIVEX_OPEN_UNSAFE flag is set.

There are some corrupted registry files that have invalid hbin cells
but are still readable. This patch makes the following changes:

* hivex_open - do not abort with complete failure if we run across a
  block with invalid size (unless it's the root block). Instead just
  log the event, and move on. This will allow open hives that have
  apparent invalid blocks but the ones of potential interest might be
  perfectly accessible.
* _hivex_get_children - similiarly, if the's invalid subkey, just skip
  it instead of failing so one can continue to browse other valid
  subkeys.

The above is similar to the behavior to Windows regedit where one can
load such corrupted hives with e.g. "reg load HKU\Corrupted" and
browse/change it despite some keys might be missing.

(cherry picked from commit 5345ec8f1df304dc93a6b1e4cbb40e7c1cf6f88d)
