When a user is registered in a Windows domain, it is really easy to
obtain the email address. So let's do that.

Suggested by Lutz Roeder.

If query_user_email(), which calls get_extended_user_info(), returns
NULL, then we do nothing (and don't worry about freeing the result).
However, if query_user_email() returns a zero-length allocated string,
then this conditional will leak that string (due to the email[0]
check). From patch 2/3, we see in get_extended_user_info():

+static char *get_extended_user_info(enum EXTENDED_NAME_FORMAT type)
+{
+       if (GetUserNameExW(type, wbuffer, &len)) {
+               char *converted = xmalloc((len *= 3));
+               if (xwcstoutf(converted, wbuffer, len) >= 0)
+                       return converted;

that it may possibly return a zero-length string (due to the ">=0").
Do we care about this potential leak (or is GetUserNameExW()
guaranteed never to return such a string)?

The three patches look sensible to me; will queue.

You may already have audited our use of "struct passwd",
"getpwnam()" and "getpwuid()"--I haven't.  I think we use these only
to learn user's email (to be used as the default ident) and home
directory (to expand "git config --type=path").  If that is really
the case, it may be a worthwhile clean-up to introduce our own API
that offers these two exact functions, have the per-platform
implementation of the API in compat/, and get rid of "struct passwd"
and calls to getpw*() functions out of the core Git proper, to wean
ourselves away from depending on POSIX too much.

But of course that is a separate topic.

Quite honestly, I think that this is so rare an instance (if it *can*
happen at all) that I simply don't care ;-)
