Added admin rights check for Windows file monitor registration.

Now the registration process is checked for an "elevated token" and if none is
found, a message is displayed and it exits without attempting the registration.

def locking_copy(src, dst):
    """
    Implements a "locking" version of ``shutil.copy()``.

    This function exists to provide a more atomic method for copying a file
    into a folder which is being watched by a file monitor.  The assumption is
    that the monitor is configured to expect "locks" and therefore only process
    files once they have had their locks removed.

    :param src: Path to the source file.
    :type src: string

    :param dst: Path to the destination file (or directory).
    :type dst: string
