Summary: Alternate InstallDirRegKey that outputs to a variable

Initial Comment:
I'd like to see a function like InstallDirRegKey, but outputing to a variable. Also, \
I guess there wouldn't be an $INSTDIR fallback like InstallDirRegKey, so I guess it \
would just need to store an empty string if it can't figure out a path from the \
provided registry key.

It could be something like:
DirFromRegKey $0 HKLM Software\ACME\Thingy InstallLocation

or

DirFromRegKey $CustomVar HKLM Software\ACME\Thingy InstallLocation

Message:
ReadRegStr doesn't remove the quotes or parse the directory from the
.EXE/DLL.

I've written a comparable function in NSIS script I'll post in a file,
it's kind of a mess but it works. I'm new to NSIS scripting so there may be
a whole better way of doing this I just don't know about.

Usage:
Push "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Winamp"
Push "UninstallString"
Call DirFromRegKey
Pop $0
;$0 is either the folder Winamp is installed in, or an empty string

I had to hardcode HKLM in the function for some reason, pushing/popping it
or "HKLM" would always result in an error when ReadRegStr tried to use the
value.
