>win32-registry

I agreed your proposal.

@nobu Do you have any concern?

>win32-sspi

I'm +1 to @nobu's opinion. we removed it from `ruby/ruby`.

>win32-resolv

As nobu said, we already bundled it to resolv gem.

Feature #20775: Gemify win32-registry, win32-sspi and win32-resolv

----------------------------------------
Many libraries bundled with ruby have been gemified and were separated into it's own repository.
Not so far the 3 win32 libraries: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/master/ext/win32/lib/win32
* win32/registry
* win32/resolv
* win32/sspi

win32-registry
-----------

I started with win32/registry in https://github.com/larskanis/win32-registry

* separate all commit into it's own repository,
* make it a gem,
* add proper test cases to verify the core functions,
* add a GHA workflow to run the tests,
* add a single commit to change to consistent UTF-8 string output (see https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20774)

My intention is that the repository can be moved to https://github.com/ruby/win32-registry and can be integrated it into ruby.
However I think `win32/registry` should permanently stay a bundled gem, since the registry access is a core functionality on Windows, so it should always be in the core ruby distribution.

win32-sspi
-----------
Regarding `win32/sspi` I doubt that anyone is using this library.
It was completely broken since ruby-3.0 until some days ago due to this fix: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/fc2f196cb8542a81bf271cdb90e0189c54321103
Nevertheless it makes sense to gemify it and to move it to it's own repository.
I use a massively extended version of this file at work, maybe this can be included then.
IMHO there's no need to keep it in the ruby distribution.

win32-resolv
---------
I don't have a strong opinion reg. `win32/resolv` and never had a reason to use this platform dependent API instead of the cross platform functions in the `socket` library.
Maybe it had a use in the past.
