The Microsoft Error Lookup Tool... it ain't pretty, but where has this been all my life?

From https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32/blob/docs/desktop-src/Debug/system-error-code-lookup-tool.md I got the download link: https://download.microsoft.com/download/4/3/2/432140e8-fb6c-4145-8192-25242838c542/Err_6.4.5/Err_6.4.5.exe

I moved `Err_6.4.5.exe` to `C:\Windows` so I can run the command directly from the prompt.

Syntax:

```
Err_6.4.5.exe <error code>
```

Example:

```
>Err_6.4.5.exe 0xc0000005
# for hex 0xc0000005 / decimal -1073741819
ISCSI_ERR_SETUP_NETWORK_NODE iscsilog.h

# the dump data.
