Summary of the Pull Request

I have reopened #5840 due to a limitation of github that did not allow maintainers to make edits in pull requests in a cross-organization setting. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/5634

This pull request adds a new rule - System Language Discovery via reg.exe based on https://github.com/redcanaryco/atomic-red-team/blob/master/atomics/T1614.001/T1614.001.md

I've also pushed the evtx and the info.yml for regression testing
