Replace unowinreg.dll with execution of `reg QUERY`

The SDK's <https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/ProUNO/Java/
Transparent_Use_of_Office_UNO_Components> on all platforms included the Windows-
specific unowinreg.dll in generated jars (so that those jars, when distributed
to a Windows environment, would find a LO installation by inspecting the Windows
registry).  That unowinreg.dll was originally built as a 32-bit DLL (though when
building a 64-bit Windows LO, it happened to be built as a 64-bit DLL).  For
non-Windows LO builds, it could either be built locally with a MinGW toolchain
(--enable-build-unowinreg) or downloaded from dev-www.libreoffice.org.

However, that had various issues:

For one, unowinreg.dll was not necessarily available in a distributed jar as a
64-bit DLL for use with a 64-bit JRE on Windows.  (Theoretically, running such a
jar with a 32-bit JRE to access a 64-bit LO installation's URE jars could have
worked.  But practically, those URE jars in turn require native DLLs, which
would then not have been available as 32-bit DLLs for use in the 32-bit JRE.)

For another, at least the unowinreg.dll resulting from --enable-build-unowinreg
on Fedora 33 would have had a dependency on libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll that would
generally not have been available in a target Windows environment.

There appears to be no pure Java way to read the Windows registry, but instead
of using a native code DLL for that, it appears to work just as well to call out
to reg.exe and parse its output.

This removes the --enable-build-unowinreg and --with-mingw-cross-compiler
configuration options.  (The sole use of the MinGW toolchain in LO was for
building unowinreg.dll.)
