[PATCH v2 2/2] t7900: make macOS-specific test work on Windows

Although `git maintenance start` and `git maintenance stop` necessarily invoke platform-specific scheduling utilities, their related tests have been carefully crafted -- with one minor exception -- to work correctly on any platform, thus improving overall coverage. The exception is that the macOS-specific test fails on Windows due to non-portable use of `$(id -u)` and comparison involving the value of $HOME.

In particular, on Windows, the value of getuid() called by the C code is not guaranteed to be the same as `$(id -u)` invoked by the test. This is because `git.exe` is a native Windows program, whereas the utility programs run by the test script mostly utilize the MSYS2 runtime, which emulates a POSIX-like environment. Since the purpose of the test is to check that the input to the hook is well-formed, the actual user ID is immaterial, thus we can work around the problem by making the the test UID-agnostic.

As for comparison of $HOME, it suffers from the typical shortcoming on Windows in which the same path may be represented two different ways depending upon its source (i.e. as a Windows path `C:/git-sdk-64/usr/src/git/foo` versus as a Unix path `/usr/src/git/foo`).

Fix both problems and drop the !MINGW prerequisite from the macOS-specific test, thus allowing the test to run on Windows, as well.
