CI: Test on Windows

[effigies]

As noted in #81 (comment), I would suggest that we try out Azure Pipelines instead of AppVeyor.

Perhaps a good first step is somebody with access to a Windows computer to try to run the tests and estimate how big a job it is going to be to get us to compatibility. If that's going to be the struggle, learning a new CI infrastructure might be too much to add on top of it.

this should also use the new bot.

@satra - do we have any windows in the lab? or you just want me to go right to the Azure pipeline?

[satra]

not that i know of. yes, straight to azure - i hear it may also do OSX testing.

Nibabel uses these two files to configure Azure:

• https://github.com/nipy/nibabel/blob/master/azure-pipelines.yml
• https://github.com/nipy/nibabel/blob/master/.azure-pipelines/windows.yml

The second is a template for a run script. The first parameterizes variables over that template.

And yes, I believe it does OSX and Ubuntu as well as Windows. Travis also does OSX, which might be a lighter lift.

ok, I can try to set azure, but if something needs debugging, we would need someone with windows machine
