Sebastiaan van Stijn 0d32fde8e3 internal/registry: use stdlib's x509.SystemCertPool on Windows
The `tlsconfig.SystemCertPool` utility in go-connections was added in
[docker/go-connections@55aadc3], at which time Go stdlib didn't support
system-pools ([x509.SystemCertPool]) on Windows, so an empty pool was
constructed.

Support for system pools on Windows originally added in Go 1.8 (through
[golang/go@05471e9]), but reverted, and re-implemented in Go 1.18 (through
[golang/go@3544082]).

Go 1.18 and up now implement this, but, unlike Linux, which uses a pure-Go
implementation, certificate validation is handled by the system:

> On macOS and Windows, certificate verification is handled by system APIs,
> but the package aims to apply consistent validation rules across operating
> systems.

On macOS and Windows, x509.SystemCertPool returns an empty Pool, with the
`systemPool` set to `true` (see [loadSystemRoots]). This must be considered
an implementation detail; custom CAs can be appended to this pool, and handled
as usual.

This patch removes the special handling on Windows, removing the dependency
on go-connections for this part.
