Fix and simplify check for whether we're running as Windows service.

If the process token contains SECURITY_SERVICE_RID, but it has been
disabled by the SE_GROUP_USE_FOR_DENY_ONLY attribute, win32_is_service()
would incorrectly report that we're running as a service. That situation
arises, e.g. if postmaster is launched with a restricted security token,
with the "Log in as Service" privilege explicitly removed.

Replace the broken code with CheckProcessTokenMembership(), which does
this correctly. Also replace similar code in win32_is_admin(), even
though it got this right, for simplicity and consistency.

Per bug #13755, reported by Breen Hagan. Back-patch to all supported
versions. Patch by Takayuki Tsunakawa, reviewed by Michael Paquier.
