help/config: note 64-bit Windows registry key used with 32-bit Python
Before this patch the only place that documented the use of a different
registry key was on the wiki page for installing on Windows from
sources, while most users will use a pre-packaged installer and the
supplied help files.
This patch documents in the supplied help files that an alternate
registry key is used for the installation/system configuration file when
using 32-bit Python on a 64-bit Windows.
