Title: install registry and dde in $INSTALL_DIRl\lib (as in Tcl 8.6)

Description:

As alternative to TIP #702, I propose to leave dde and registry out of the attached zip-file, and simply install them in $INSTALL_DIR/lib. This is the same as was done in Tcl 8.6

Merged to 8.7 and 9.0 now. I will rebase TIP #702, because removing the dll's from the zip-file is done both in this patch and in the TIP #702.

In my view, the main reason for rushing TIP #702 is gone now. I prefer to take somewhat more time, and design something better. See: TIP #703

If Tcl 9.0.1 is coming soon, we should no longer pack the dde and registry extensions into the zip. That will make sure, no endless directories will be created in /tmp during tclsh/wish startup.

Even if TIP #702 is the chosen path (which I don't hope, I already created a competing TIP), this brings back the situation to how in was in 8.6, so it is without any danger.

Any objections?
