Crashes across plugins due to _CELL_DATA vs _CM_KEY_NODE

Many registry related plugins crash to due an error like this:

@superponible @dgmcdona - Are either of you familiar with _CELL_DATA? Is this a different data structure in certain versions of Windows? It crashes out any plugin that calls get_key when its present.

Searching the code base, I see ikelos referenced the type here in a similar.

We at least need to leave this with a definitive answer to document it, but I assume our code is just broken/out dated due to how many samples had this issue in testing.
