Enabling fast-finish on CIs

[jakirkham]

AppVeyor and Travis CI have features for fast finishing CI builds. Namely if one pushes a couple commits right after one another, the older builds will be cancelled automatically (assuming they haven't already started). Enabling this should help lighten the CI load and keep things moving at a reasonable pace.

FTR this should be as simple as flipping a couple switches. Mainly opened this to see if we agreed with the suggested change or not.

Yes SGTM. Can you say which are the right switches? I can poke around in the settings, but not always obvious.

For Travis CI, this blogpost is pretty informative. For AppVeyor, this doc is pretty helpful. In both cases, we probably want to limit it to PRs. They both have settings for this.

Awesome, thanks @jakirkham.

Believe GitHub Actions (which we use now) already has this enabled. Closing this out.
