Remove support for XP specific config location

Browse Source 
Current Git for Windows supports an additional configuration location
for system setting. On contemporary versionws of Windows this is
$PROGRAMDATA/Git/config. But XP does not know about $PRORGRAMDATA so
$ALLUSERSPROFILE/Application Data/Git/config was used.

XP itself is EOL for quite some time and Git for Windows ceased to
support it officially with version 2.10.0 (release 3 Sep 2016).
