mingw: drop Windows 7-specific work-around
In ac33519ddfa8 (mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows
7 and later, 2019-11-22), I introduced code to safe-guard the
defense-in-depth handling that restricts handles' inheritance so that it
would work with Windows 7, too.
Let's revert this patch: Git for Windows dropped supporting Windows 7 (and
Windows 8) directly after Git for Windows v2.46.2. For full details, see
https://gitforwindows.org/requirements#windows-version.
Actually, on second thought: revert only the part that makes this handle
inheritance restriction logic optional and that suggests to open a bug
report if it fails, but keep the fall-back to try again without said
logic: There have been a few false positives over the past few years
(where the warning was triggered e.g. because Defender was still
accessing a file that Git wanted to overwrite), and the fall-back logic
seems to have helped occasionally in such situations.
