Generalize support for access rights in windows-registry #3482

Building on #3461, this update generalizes support for access rights so that a caller can request more than just read/write access. I decided against adding an enum declaring the various known access rights as that just leads to the inevitable confusion around which ones to use, how they might be combined, and which obscure access rights to include in the library. If you're unsure just use read() or write() and move on. 😊

I also refined the OpenOptions to be additive-only to simplify things. So rather than having to say options.read(true).write(true) you can simply say options.read().write() and so on.

Fixes: #3474

Looks great, thanks! I also like that you can now just use KEY_QUERY_VALUE instead of KEY_READ when that's the only perm you need.
