    Cygwin: uinfo: don't special case current user
    
    fetch_account_from_windows shortcuts the current user in that
    it takes the user's domain SID and just adds the matching RID
    from the token's primary group to create a group SID.
    
    How wrong this is can be very simply reproduced:
    
    Assuming you run a native process, like cmd, with primary group
    set to the Administrators builtin group.  Run Cygwin's id(1) as
    child process.  id(1) will print a non-existent group as primary
    group and also add it to the group list.
    
    This can only be avoided by not special casing the current user
    and thus not creating a group SID from partial information.
    
    Fixes: 6cc7c925ce86 ("(pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows): Default primary group for the
    current user to primary group from user token.")
