adjust_shared_perm(): leave g+s alone when the group does not matter

Julien Moutinho reports that in an environment where directory does
not have BSD group semantics and requires the g+s to be set (aka
FORCE_DIR_SET_GID), but the system forbids chmod() to touch the g+s
bit, adjust_shared_perm() fails even when the repository is for
private use with perm = 0600, because we unconditionally try to set
the g+s bit.

When we grant extra access based on group membership (i.e. the
directory has either g+r or g+w bit set), which group the directory
and its contents are owned by matters.  But otherwise (e.g. perm is
set to 0600, in Julien's case), flipping g+s bit is not necessary.
