Preserve surrogate code points in registry values - #9597

Cover unpaired surrogates on the winreg read path.

Cover unpaired surrogates on the winreg read path.

test_data has no entry with an unpaired UTF-16 surrogate. The existing read-path assertions use only ASCII and Japanese strings, so a regression to strict decoding of REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ values would not fail any test. Adding one entry to test_data covers both EnumValue and QueryValueEx, because _read_test_data uses that list for both checks.

Suggested fix

     # Two and three kanjis, meaning: "Japan" and "Japanese".
     ("Japanese 日本", "日本語", REG_SZ),
+    # Unpaired surrogate code unit, which must be returned unchanged on read.
+    ("Lone surrogate", "a\ud800b", REG_SZ),
 ]

Add a surrogate value for the NUL-terminated REG_MULTI_SZ path, and cover the trailing path separately.

The REG_MULTI_SZ decoder now keeps unpaired surrogates at crates/vm/src/stdlib/winreg.rs:744 and :751. Lib/test/test_winreg.py has no surrogate value, and every existing REG_MULTI_SZ value is ASCII. A return to strict decoding on either path would still pass the suite.

SetValueEx always adds the element and list terminators. A value written through it can reach line 744 but not line 751. Add this entry to test_data:

Suggested test change

         ("Multi-nul",     ["", "", "", ""],                        REG_MULTI_SZ),
+        ("Multi-surrogate", ["\ud800", "x"],                       REG_MULTI_SZ),

The trailing branch at line 751 needs a REG_MULTI_SZ value whose last element has no NUL terminator. Write it with raw bytes, for example a, NUL, b, U+DC00, through a direct RegSetValueExW call. Then assert that QueryValueEx returns ["a", "b\udc00"].

Review comment at @crates/vm/src/stdlib/winreg.rs at line 744:
Extend the winreg tests to cover both REG_MULTI_SZ decoding paths with unpaired
surrogates: add a SetValueEx-backed value that exercises Wtf8Buf::from_wide in
the NUL-terminated path, and a raw REG_MULTI_SZ value with a non-NUL-terminated
final element that exercises the trailing path. Assert QueryValueEx preserves
the surrogate in each result, including the trailing-path result ["a",
"b\udc00"].
