Make system_path behave like the other path functions by using a static buffer, fixing a memory leak.
Also make sure the prefix pointer is always initialized to either PREFIX or NULL.
git_etc_gitattributes and git_etc_gitconfig are the only users who are affected by this change. Make them use a static buffer, which fits their use better as well.

It was pointed out that one should always check for an encoding error (-1) with the printf family. I'm not sure how likely this is to happen, but this should make the code extra portable :)
