According to PEP 514, Python.org's Windows installer stores its
installation path in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\<Company>\<Tag>\InstallPath
where <Tag> is the value of sys.winver. Newer versions of python add "-32"
and "-64" to the version in order to allow side by side installations.
Adjust LocatePythonExecutable accordingly.

get_filename_component returns "/regstry" if the query is unsuccessful.
We'll have to add a check for that if we query "Add Paths".
Revert "CMake: Pass ABSOLUTE to get_filename_component."
This reverts commit 4c03f4be00.
Revert "CMake: Look for Python using the "App Paths" key."
This reverts commit 6d1b6cd39d.

Try to find Python and set PYTHON_EXECUTABLE on Windows via the registry
prior to calling FindPythonInterp. This works around a bug in CMake that
prefers Cygwin's Python, which is a symlink, which by default is a text
file that contains a Cygwin-specific cookie, which is therefore useless
outside of Cygwin.
This is avoids the need to pass -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=... to CMake.
