Description of problem:
Use 'hivex-node-set-value' to set value with type=1 (type=1, A Windows string (encoding is unknown, but often UTF16-LE)), and read that value by hivex-value-utf8, command failed.

I check the value in a running windows guest, it's an unreadable code. may hivex-node-set-value does not work well.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.20.9-6.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare a windows guest, Win2003-32 bit
2. use hivex-node-set-value to set a value with type=1
3. use "hivex-value-utf8" to read the value


Actual results:
hivex: conversion of registry value to UTF8 failed


Expected results:
get the correct result

same issue in rhel7, libguestfs-1.22.2-1.el7.x86_64
