config: validate ownership of C:\ProgramData\Git\config before using it

When the VirtualStore feature is in effect, it is safe to let random
users write into C:\ProgramData because other users won't see those
files. This seemed to be the case when we introduced support for
C:\ProgramData\Git\config.

However, when that feature is not in effect (which seems to be the case
in newer Windows 10 versions), we'd rather not use those files unless
they come from a trusted source, such as an administrator.

This change imitates the strategy chosen by PowerShell's native OpenSSH
port to Windows regarding host key files: if a system file is owned
neither by an administrator, a system account, or the current user, it
is ignored.
