mingw: handle a file owned by the Administrators group correctly
When an Administrator creates a file or directory, the created file/directory is owned not by the Administrator SID, but by the _Administrators Group_ SID. The reason is that users with administrator privileges usually run in unprivileged ("non-elevated") mode, and their user SID does not change when running in elevated mode. This is is relevant e.g. when running a GitHub workflow on a build agent, which runs in elevated mode: cloning a Git repository in a script step will cause the worktree to be owned by the Administrators Group SID, for example. Let's handle this case as following: if the current user is an administrator, Git should consider a worktree owned by the Administrators Group as if it were owned by said user.
