CNTService v1.83

Just to let everyone know that v1.83 of CNTService has been released. Updates for this framework includes the following updates:

• Fixed a bug in the non MFC code path in CNTService::GetServiceProfileString where the code left a NULL byte in the std::string return value prior to returning from the method. Therefore the returned string object contained a binary zero and cannot be used to concatenate other strings. Thanks to Martin Gamperl for spotting this bug.
• Some minor tidy-ups to the code style throughout the ntserv.cpp module.
