mingw_open_existing: handle directories better

CreateFileW() requires FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS to create a directory
handle [1] and errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED without this flag.
Fall back to accessing Directory handles this way.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5068
