Add patch from libgit2/libgit2#7200 to the vcpkg libgit2 overlay port.
Problem
When a repository is owned by the Administrators group, libgit2 only considers the current user to be the owner if the process is running elevated. This causes safe-directory ownership checks to fail for non-elevated admin users.
Solution
Carry the patch from libgit2/libgit2#7200 in our vcpkg overlay until it ships in an official libgit2 release. The patch modifies \src/util/fs_path.c\ to check the linked token for Administrators group membership when the process is running non-elevated, matching the corresponding change in git.
