Consider running CI under Windows #2686

Description

As is currently done in google-java-format, I think it's worth testing Guava against Windows using AppVeyor, or at least I think it's worth for the Guava team to consider looking into it.

Currently, Guava makes no guarantees that it will run successfully on Windows, as explained in the README:

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
...
5, We unit-test and benchmark the libraries using only OpenJDK 1.7 on Linux. Some features, especially in com.google.common.io, may not work correctly in other environments.

I do understand that there would need to be a number of changes or improvements before Guava can build successfully on Windows (#2130), so I suspect this would be a long-term thing to tackle.
