This is a small maintenance release that fixes the following issues:

• signtool

  • Improve 'signtool.exe' path detection
  • Add self signed certificate tests

• bitlocker

  • Fix non unlocked bitlocker devices are not shown

Various code refactoring has taken place to improve overall code quality, without functional changes:

• virtualization
• office
• wmi_queries
• registry

This release adds support for windows signtool in order to add authenticode to windows binaries.
It also fixes the following issues:

• Double results in antivirus detection
• Better CIM tempstamp creation function (+ compatibility layer for wmi_queries < 0.9.5)
• Adds typing requirement for python < 3.5

This release only renames a function so it's more clear that the datetime object it requires should be in UTC format, also allows to localize the resulting CIM timestamp.

Nothing groundbreaking here, but some nice tools to handle various windows stuff.
