mingw: demonstrate a regression pushing to UNC paths

On Windows, there are "UNC paths" to access network (AKA shared) folders,
of the form \\server\sharename\directory. This provides a convenient way
for Windows developers to share their Git repositories without having to
have a dedicated server.

Git for Windows v2.11.0 introduced a regression where pushing to said UNC
paths no longer works, although fetching and cloning still does.

Demonstrate what is the problem, using so-called "administrative shares":
disk volumes are automatically shared under certain circumstances, e.g.
the C: drive is shared as \\localhost\c$. The test needs to be skipped if
the current directory is inaccessible via said administrative share, of
course.
