[issue23701] Drop extraneous comment from winreg.QueryValue's docstring

[Berker Peksag]

Berker Peksag added the comment:

Thanks for the report and for the patch, Claudiu. The part you mentioned has 
already been removed in 6e613ecd70f0. Here's the current version:

"Values in the registry have name, type, and data components. This method
retrieves the data for a key's first value that has a NULL name.
But since the underlying API call doesn't return the type, you'll
probably be happier using QueryValueEx; this function is just here for
completeness."

[issue23701] Drop extraneous comment from winreg.QueryValue's docstring

[Claudiu Popa]

New submission from Claudiu Popa:

winreg.QueryValue's docstring has an interesting comment at the end:

But the underlying API call doesn't return the type, Lame Lame Lame, DONT USE 
THIS!!!

The documentation 
(https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/winreg.html#winreg.QueryValue) already 
mentions the shortcomings of QueryValue. This comment should be removed or at 
least rewritten in a more serious note.
