[New-bugs-announce] [issue21518] Expose RegUnloadKey in winreg

[Claudiu.Popa]

New submission from Claudiu.Popa:

Hello. While working on issue8579, I noticed that there is no way to detach a key from the registry, loaded with LoadKey function. The attached patch exposes RegUnLoadKeyW as winreg.UnloadKey. Also, this patch adds a new script in the test folder, windows_helper.py, which could be an useful addition for testing Windows specific issues, like acquiring / releasing a privilege.
