Johannes Schindelin 03a4e46d12 mingw: special-case administrators even more
The check for dubious ownership has one particular quirk on Windows: if
running as an administrator, files owned by the Administrators _group_
are considered owned by the user.

The rationale for that is: When running in elevated mode, Git creates
files that aren't owned by the individual user but by the Administrators
group.

There is yet another quirk, though: The check I introduced to determine
whether the current user is an administrator uses the
`CheckTokenMembership()` function with the current process token. And
that check only succeeds when running in elevated mode!

Let's be a bit more lenient here and look harder whether the current
user is an administrator. We do this by looking for a so-called "linked
token". That token exists when administrators run in non-elevated mode,
and can be used to create a new process in elevated mode. And feeding
_that_ token to the `CheckTokenMembership()` function succeeds!
