Jesse Rosenberger 2d8b1913c7 Basic Appveyor testing for Windows.
This implements a first generation of Windows CI testing.  Presently,
this only runs valuable, hand-picked tests which have been known to work
in the past, and whose failure would indicate a critical problem.

A test which isn't passing doesn't mean that the feature being tested is
not working. For example, the 'create' test fails ostentatiously,
though the 'meteor create' command certainly works in practice. This
points to problems some compatibility problems with the 'self-test'
harness itself, some of which I'm aware of.  Though, it likely will
highlight some legitimate problems which Windows users experience too.

There are a number of additional tests which should be enabled which
likely pass already, and many more which are failing and we should fix.

Additional tests can be added to the scripts/windows/appveyor/test.ps1
file as they've been deemed working.

Altogether, this will take extensive work to achieve the same level of
coverage our Unix test suite enjoy, but we've got to start somewhere!
