mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows 7 and later
Turns out that it don't work so well on Vista, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1742 for details.
According to https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=8873, it
*should* work on Windows Vista and later.
But apparently there are issues on Windows Vista when pipes are
involved. Given that Windows Vista is past its end of life (official
support ended on April 11th, 2017), let's not spend *too* much time on
this issue and just disable the file handle inheritance restriction on
any Windows version earlier than Windows 7.
