[issue42018] winreg SetValue(Ex) should mention integer as an acceptable value

[Kevin Wojniak]

New submission from Kevin Wojniak <kwojniak at box.com>:

On https://docs.python.org/3/library/winreg.html

For SetValue and SetValueEx is says:

> value is a string that specifies the new value.

but value can also be an integer if the type is DWORD. Here's a test that shows that: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.9/Lib/test/test_winreg.py#L339

Suggested update:

> value is a string or integer that specifies the new value.
