windows: prevent bytes from being passed to registry APIs
There was a TortoiseHg bug report in this area[1], and from inspection, it looks
like passing `b""` as `valname` would fail to convert to unicode. The
underlying API allows both `""` and `NULL` to return the default value for the
key.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit 273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
