[PATCH v2 2/2] mingw: translate ERROR_SUCCESS to errno = 0

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

Johannes Sixt pointed out that the `err_win_to_posix()` function mishandles `ERROR_SUCCESS`. This commit fixes that.

Technically, we try to only assign `errno` to the corresponding value of `GetLastError()` (which translation is performed by that function) when a Win32 API call failed, so this change is purely defensive and is not expected to fix an existing bug in our code base.
