testing patches

From: Vincent Fu <[email protected]>

Jens, please consider this series of patches related to testing.

The patches improve t/run-fio-tests.py in various ways, most prominently adding support for Windows and macOS.

Also included are travis and appveyor patches that add run-fio-tests.py as a step. Currently both the travis and appveyor build processes complete in less than four minutes. Adding run-fio-tests.py increases this to about 20 minutes for travis and 14 minutes for appveyor.

Also worth noting is that sometimes the VMs these builds run on appear to become overloaded and produce false failures. For instance, builds on the same hash fail here

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/vincentkfu/fio/builds/29342164

but succeed here

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/vincentkfu/fio/builds/29344271

The failure occured because of a timeout running a null ioengine job that reads 10G of data.

It's certainly nice to have these tests automatically run with every commit, but the downside is that the build process is significantly lengthened and some noise is introduced.
