Subject: [PATCH] Run the tests on Windows too, which is where they have never
 run

Sixty of them are about the Windows backends, and every one of them has only
ever run on Linux and on a Mac: user32 and kernel32 are faked at the one
function that loads them, which is the whole point and is also the whole limit.
The half that reads the real system has been taken on trust. The Mac has had a
job of its own for exactly this reason since it was ported, and the comment on
it says what it is for; this is the same job with the same reason.

What it should catch that nothing else does: whether %APPDATA% and
%LOCALAPPDATA% are the directories Windows actually hands out, whether a path
spelled with a backslash is still one the tests can read, whether the
config-permission test skips rather than fails where the mode bits mean
nothing, and whether install.ps1 parses. Running install.ps1 is not on the
table: it writes into the Start Menu and the user PATH.
