Using wintun by running openvpn.exe as SYSTEM does not work

Description
When run without using the interactive service opening wintum device errors as expected, and the error message suggests to run as SYSTEM. However, when run as SYSTEM (either from automatic service or using psexec etc.) it results in the same FATAL error. It seems running interactively or from the automatic service as SYSTEM is not yet supported.

tun.c: enable using wintun driver under SYSTEM
Commit 6d19775a468 has removed SYSTEM elevation hack,
but introduced regression - inability to use wintun without
interactive service.
Proceed with ring buffers registration even if iservice is unavailable
and display relevant error message.
