FS: Remove the gitprefix logic

The only purpose of the gitprefix logic was to determine the path to the
system-wide config file. This is now done by discoverGitSystemConfig()
independent of the gitprefix, so get rid of this unused code.

 - We try to use the same notation of $HOME as C Git does. On Windows
   this is often not the same value as the user.home system property.
