This provider is enabled with the hidden filter flag to make the ETW session write captured registry data. The registry event processor keeps the queue of received internal set value events and enriches subsequent RegSetValue events emitted by the NT Kernel Logger provider.
The registry.value filter field yields the name of the created or modified registry value. The new registry.data field returns the captured value data.

What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?
This PR enables the Windows Kernel Registry provider session with a hidden filter flag to instruct the session to dump captured registry value data (strings, binary data, DWORD/QWORD values). The events published by the provider are correlated with the
NT Kernel Logger
RegSetValueevent to enrich the event with registry value payload obtained directly in the kernel.What type of change does this PR introduce?
