Do not restart dns client service as a part of --register-dns processing
As reported and discussed on Trac #775, restarting dns service has
unwanted side effects when there are dependent services. And it
appears unnecessary to restart this service to get DNS registered
on Windows.
Resolve by removing two actions from --register-dns:
'net stop dnscache' and 'net start dnscache' run through the service
or directly.
Trac: #775
