[This is a roll-forward of CL 597255, which had to be rolled back
because it broke the windows-arm64 builder, whose current user display
name is unavailable. This new CL fixes the issue by reintroducing the
historical behavior of falling back to the user name instead of
returning an error].

user.Current is slow on Windows sessions connected to an Active
Directory domain. This is because it uses Windows APIs that do RPC
calls to the domain controller, such as TranslateAccountW and
NetUserGetInfo.

This change speeds up user.Current by using the GetUserNameEx API
instead, which is already optimized for retrieving the current user
name in different formats.

These are the improvements I see with the new implementation:
