Summary:                    Java: option to disable windows-registry in hints
for FindJava and FindJNI
Description: 
In some cases it is necessary to have full control over the actual JDK version
used for building. E.g., when hosting a JVM in a C++ app the jvm library version
 to link against is important. Otherwise can crash if jvm dynamic library found
at runtime is incompatible.

On windows, the Java search modules treat registry entries as first class hints.
More control could be provided if JAVA_HOME would be first here.

If this order (registry before JAVA_HOME) is of importance, then an option to
disable the registry hints would be handy.
