fix(user-manual/desktop): update registry keys for x64-only builds
The distinction between 32/64-bit keys was only relevant when we still shipped the 32-bit (x86) client. Since v3.6.0 (September 2022) there were only new 64-bit (x64) releases of the desktop client. Also clarify the note about branded clients. Signed-off-by: Jyrki Gadinger <nilsding@nilsding.org>
