This job has proven to be the flakiest of all, and it's also the oldest
Windows runner we had tests running on: 'Visual Studio 2015', that is
running on Windows Server 2012 R2:
https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/

Turn off tests on this job to help stabilizing CI runs.

This was also one of the slowest running job amongst the AppVeyor CI ones.

Flakiness data:

Entries:
Appveyor / CMake, mingw-w64, gcc 6, Debug, x86, Schannel, Static, no-unity (curl) [current]

Closes #13566

- disable SMTP tests in MSYS2/mingw-w64 and MSVC jobs.
  On the suspicion of sometimes hanging:

  https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/9758011305/job/26931678639?pr=14084#step:14:2834
  https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/9774468536/job/26982805294#step:11:4731

- run TFTP, MQTT, WebSockets tests in MSYS2/msys jobs again.

- switch hanging old-mingw-w64 7.3.0 job to Release (from Debug).
  Guessing here, 9.5.0 is more solid, and one difference is
  Debug/Release mode. Let's match 7.3.0 with that and see how it changes
  hangs and flakiness.
  The other difference is Unicode ON in 7.3.0. Flaky 6.3.0 was also
  Debug, with Unicode OFF:
  217878b #13566.
  (Unicode unlikely to play a role here IMO.)
  If 7.3.0 keeps hanging / remains flaky I'll consider disabling its
  test runs.

- opt-out from vcpkg telemetry.
