win: improve accuracy of ProductName between arch (#4191)

Browse Source 
uv_os_uname() on Windows queries the registry value "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName" to fill
uv_utsname_t. If calling application was compiled for x86 and run on a
x86_64 host, that query is redirected to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName"
instead.

For whatever reason, the value of 'ProductName' in the 32-bit registry
section on 64-bit Windows sometimes differs from the 64-bit equivalent
value and is inaccurate (e.g. containing the data
"Windows 10 Enterprise" while the 64-bit value accurately contains
"Windows 10 Pro").

Adds the 'KEY_WOW64_64KEY' security descriptor when opening the
appropriate registry key so that the value of ProductName is always
taken from the primary registry on 64-bit systems, regardless of
compiled architecture. The descriptor is safely ignored on 32-bit hosts.
