Make system_path behave like the other path functions by using a
static buffer, fixing a memory leak.
Also make sure the prefix pointer is always initialized to either
PREFIX or NULL.
git_etc_gitattributes and git_etc_gitconfig are the only users who are
affected by this change. Make them use a static buffer, which fits
their use better as well.

It was pointed out that one should always check for an encoding error
(-1) with the printf family. I'm not sure how likely this is to
happen, but this should make the code extra portable :)
