[Spice-devel] [vdagent-win PATCH v2 3/6] Fix some minor buffer overflows reading registry informations

Strings in the registry can be not NUL-terminated.
Current code to make sure they are NUL-terminated can add an extra
NUL character at the end of the buffer.
Also RegQueryValueEx returns the number of bytes read, not the number
of characters so the value must be fixed to avoid overflows.
