[PATCH 2/3] getpwuid(mingw): provide a better default for the user name

From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date: Oct 15, 2018, 09:47 UTC
Message-ID: <11025b1639785577924b2020fb20d076308e9c69.1539596822.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.45.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

We do have the excellent GetUserInfoEx() function to obtain more detailed information of the current user (if the user is part of a Windows domain); Let's use it.

Suggested by Lutz Roeder.

To avoid the cost of loading Secur32.dll (even lazily, loading DLLs takes a non-neglibile amount of time), we use the established technique to load DLLs only when, and if, needed.
