This adds a plugin 'ScheduledTasks' that can decode binary-encoded scheduled tasks from the Windows registry's SOFTWARE hive using a custom reader that extends the `io.BytesIO` class. Decoding operations are intended to be as fault tolerant as possible, swallowing exceptions and returning `None` to account for smear or missing data. Because each task can have mulitple triggers and multiple actions, a single entry is generated for each trigger + action pair. In the event that the either the actions could not be parsed or the triggers could not be parsed due to missing or smeared data, an entry will still be generated using the available information from the other registry value, since trigger and action data is stored separately. Much more information is decoded than is rendered, this was done intentionally to avoid overpopulating the TreeGrid with less pertinent data and to avoid an explosion of trigger and action-specific fields that may not apply to most other entries.
