When installing Git for Windows 2.x on top of 1.x, make sure to clean up #107

It is a bit unclear how this worked previously to this developer (who got the impression that reinstalling via the Inno installer would automatically delete previously installed files, but according to this comment that is wrong...)

So we need to make sure that 32-bit Git is removed when installing 64-bit Git.

We should also make sure to move the old config to %PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config (or on XP, %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Git\config) and to make our modifications there instead of /mingw??/etc/gitconfig (we should also make sure that we remove the respective keys from the latter location, probably already in git-extra).
