maintenance: use 'git config --fixed-value'
When a repository's leading directories contain regex metacharacters, the config calls for 'git maintenance register' and 'git maintenance unregister' are not careful enough. Use the new --fixed-value option to direct the config machinery to use exact string matches. This is a more robust option than escaping these arguments in a piecemeal fashion. For the test, require that we are not running on Windows since the '+' and '*' characters are not allowed on that filesystem.
