Summary: wxRegistry wrongly indexing array by HKEY

Initial Comment:
This code causes wxRegKey to access invalid memory:
wxString
sRegPath(wxT("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet"));
wxRegKey regKey(sRegPath); // crash within this constructor

The cause is that ExtractKeyName() returns a HKEY_*
value (like 0x80000000) which will than be used as
index to access the local array aStdKeys[].
ExtractKeyName() is supposed to return enum StdKeys.
This patch does exactly this.
