Help: Avoid duplicating registry query syntax in multiple find_* commands
In commit 8d7e80cf3d (find_* commands: add control over Windows registry views, 2022-04-16) we added documentation that is repeated by multiple find commands. Move it to a dedicated manual section to avoid duplication.

-The formal syntax, as specified using
-`BNF <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_form>`_ notation with
-the regular extensions, for registry query is the following:
-
-.. parsed-literal::
-
- registry_query ::= '[' `sep_definition`_? `root_key`_
- ((`key_separator`_ `sub_key`_)? (`value_separator`_ `value_name`_)?)? ']'
- _`sep_definition` ::= '{' `value_separator`_ '}'
- _`root_key` ::= 'HKLM' | 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' | 'HKCU' | 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' |
- 'HKCR' | 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT' | 'HKCC' | 'HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG' |
- 'HKU' | 'HKEY_USERS'
- _`sub_key` ::= `element`_ (`key_separator`_ `element`_)*
- _`key_separator` ::= '/' | '\\'
- _`value_separator` ::= `element`_ | ';'
- _`value_name` ::= `element`_ | '(default)'
- _`element` ::= `character`_\+
- _`character` ::= <any character except `key_separator`_ and `value_separator`_>
-
-The `sep_definition`_ optional item offers the possibility to specify the
-string used to separate the `sub_key`_ from the `value_name`_ item. If
-not specified, the character ``;`` is used.
-
-.. parsed-literal::
-
- # example using default separator
- |FIND_XXX| (... **PATHS** "/root/[HKLM/Stuff;InstallDir]/lib[HKLM\\\\Stuff;Architecture]")
-
- # example using different specified separators
- |FIND_XXX| (... **HINTS** "/root/[{|}HKCU/Stuff|InstallDir]/lib[{@@}HKCU\\\\Stuff@@Architecture]")
-
-If the `value_name`_ item is not specified or has the special name
-``(default)``, the content of the default value, if any, will be returned. The
-supported types for the `value_name`_ are:
-
-* ``REG_SZ``.
-* ``REG_EXPAND_SZ``. The returned data is expanded.
-* ``REG_DWORD``.
-* ``REG_QWORD``.
-
-When the registry query failed, typically because the key does not exist or
-the data type is not supported, the string ``/REGISTRY-NOTFOUND`` is substituted
-to the ``[]`` query expression.
