Bug report

Bug description:

The actual data size in buffer is not bufSize, but retSize.

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.14.1/PC/winreg.c#L1657-L1684

This is not causing an actual bug because Reg2Py is additionally checking the null-terminated string length.
I could cause actual bug: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/142283/files#r2591736333
