Bug Description

The line :
  section add "name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins"
needs to be added in the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf to enable samba to discover Windows server properly.

This change is needed for https://code.launchpad.net/~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/fix-network-browsing to land without missing the basic discovery feature.
