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.

test sparse with --verbose and -T json

Verifying that problematic files still allow us to see the deltas when forcing:
$ hg debugsparse --include 'show*'
$ touch hide
$ hg debugsparse --delete 'show*' --force -Tjson
