src: refactor windows hive code

Remove usage of hivexget as a subprocess and use Python hivex to
inspect the Windows Registry.

Use registry path constants defined in src.utils.winreg

Remove windows_is64bit() funcion as the code to identify the
architecture relies on a broken Registry query. Fixing the query
proved to be a challenge and the only implication is the removal
of the string "64 bits" at the end of the listed Windows OS
installed in each partition.

Use utility function in src.utils.winreg to make the software
inventory code more compact.

Rewrite onliner in _fill_package_set function and parse the
registry with a for loop.
