Cygwin: fetch_account_from_windows: skip LookupAccountSid for SIDs known to
fail
LookupAccountSid might take a long time if an SID cannot be resolved.
While we know some SIDs never resolved by LookupAccountSid, we call it
anyway and only handle them after it returned with error.
(Partially?) fix this latency problem by skipping the LookupAccountSid
call for SID groups never resolved anyway.
