Winreg's documentation lacks mentioning required permission at some points

Hi there,

on page 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/winreg.html
it is not mentioned in the description of the following functions:
winreg.DeleteKey
winreg.DeleteKeyEx
winreg.DeleteValue

that they require KEY_SET_VALUE when the registry key is opened.

It is mentioned for example at:
winreg.SetValue

with the following text:
The key identified by the key parameter must have been opened with KEY_SET_VALUE access.


BR,
George
