mingw: ignore HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH if it points to Windows' system directory

Internally, Git expects the environment variable `HOME` to be set, and
to point to the current user's home directory.

This environment variable is not set by default on Windows, and
therefore Git tries its best to construct one if it finds `HOME` unset.

There are actually two different approaches Git tries: first, it looks
at `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` because this is widely used in corporate
environments with roaming profiles, and a user generally wants their
global Git settings to be in a roaming profile.

Only when `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` is either unset or does not point to a
valid location, Git will fall back to using `USERPROFILE` instead.

However, starting with Windows Vista, for secondary logons and services,
the environment variables `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` point to Windows'
system directory (usually `C:\Windows\system32`).

That is undesirable, and that location is usually write-protected anyway.

So let's verify that the `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` combo does not point to
Windows' system directory before using it, falling back to `USERPROFILE`
if it does.

This fixes git-for-windows#2709
