[PATCH 2/3] mingw.c: move definition of mingw_getenv down

From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
We want to use static lookup_env() in a subsequent change.

At first sight, this change looks innocent. But it is not due to the #undef getenv. There is one caller of getenv between the old location and the new location whose behavior could change. But as can be seen from the defintion of mingw_getenv, the behavior for this caller does not change substantially.

To ensure consistent behavior in the future, change all getenv callers in mingw.c to use mingw_getenv.

With this patch, this is not a big deal, yet, but with the subsequent change, where we teach getenv to do a case-sensitive lookup, the behavior of all call sites is changed.

 Erik, Dscho,
 the 4msysgit tree has additional calls of getenv in mingw.c. You might
 want to update them to call mingw_getenv() instead.
 But then not doing so would not have a dramatic effect. It is similar
 to GIT_ASK_YESNO: People can still set Git_Ask_YesNo, and it will
 work in the same way as usual, *unless* they also have GIT_ASK_YESNO
 set as well (and with a different value).
