Release 0.58.0

[kennykerr]

This release includes updates to metadata for new or fixed API definitions (#3111, #3136), various improvements and fixes to code generation, compliance with new Rust warnings, additional COM authoring support improvements (#3065), limited non-Windows support (#3135), and more.

It includes major updates to the following crates, mainly due to breaking changes in metadata for API definitions.

• riddle 0.58.0
• windows 0.58.0
• windows-bindgen 0.58.0
• windows-core 0.58.0
• windows-implement 0.58.0
• windows-interface 0.58.0
• windows-metadata 0.58.0

It also includes major updates to the following utility crates.

• windows-result 0.2.0
• windows-registry 0.2.0

The windows-result crate now provides limited non-Windows support, and the windows-registry crate offers new lossless queries for binary and wide string values.

And it includes minor updates to the windows-targets crates, with the addition of several new APIs.

• windows-targets 0.52.6

This release also includes the first published version of the windows-strings crate, moving the string types from the windows-core crate into a dedicated crate as a smaller dependency. It also offers an efficient HSTRING builder (#3133).

To clarify, the only crates that continue to support limited non-Windows builds are:

• windows-bindgen and windows-metadata for code generation on non-Windows platforms.
• windows-core and windows-result for COM support on non-Windows platforms.

The windows-strings crate is missing from the main readme.md. Is this an oversight?
