[PATCH v2 2/2] Respect `db_home` setting even for the SYSTEM account

We should not blindly set the home directory of the SYSTEM account to
/home/SYSTEM, especially not when that value disagrees with what is
configured via the `db_home` line in the `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/435
