Created an attachment (id=992)
Hide implementation details in std.windows.registry

The program

import core.sys.windows.windows;
import std.windows.registry;

void main()
{
   auto error = GetLastError();
}

causes an error because GetLastError() is declared and exported from both
modules.

Personally, I do not expect such conflicts from a library. The root cause is that std.windows.registry exposes too much implementation details.

The attached patch changes the following:

- The windows API functions are not exported
- Windows API functions duplicated from core.sys.windows.windows are removed
- Type boolean is replaced by standard bool
