TerminalServicesSession.RemoteEndPoint fails on Windows 8/Server 2012+

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It throws a Win32Exception (1733, "The tag is invalid"). This isn't terribly 
surprising, since we're using an undocumented API to get this information. It's 
not clear that there is any (documented or undocumented) replacement for this 
in Windows 8.

This is an RPC issue (1733 = RPC_S_INVALID_TAG). Most likely, the function in 
winsta.dll hasn't changed but the underlying RPC protocol has.

Actually, this seems to be working, except for console or disconnected 
sessions. So perhaps we just need to provide special handling for this one RPC 
error and return null instead.
