Summary: win32api.RegQueryValueEx cannot obtain perfomance data

Initial Comment:
"Performance data" is HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA or HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib values.

The problem is caused by a special behaviour of the underlying API in this case. The call at win32apimodule.cpp:3575 doesn't return size to bufSize but simply fails with ERROR_MORE_DATA (and so does the whole function).

Attached is the diff that adds handling of this special situation. It assumes that this is the only case where RegQueryValueEx emits ERROR_MORE_DATA given NULL as lpData.
