[PATCH 2/3] t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin

The 'forced modes' test fails on cygwin because the post-update hook loses it's executable bit when copied from the templates directory by git-init. The template loses it's executable bit because the lstat() function resolves to the "native Win32 API" implementation.

This call to lstat() happens after git-init has set the "git_dir" (so has_git_dir() returns true), but before the configuration has been fully initialised. At this point git_config() does not find any config files to parse and returns 0. Unfortunately, the code used to determine the cygwin l/stat() function bindings did not check the return from git_config() and assumed that the config was complete and accessible once "git_dir" was set.

In order to fix the test, we simply change the binding code to test the return value from git_config(), to ensure that it actually had config values to read, before determining the requested binding.
