Subject: [PATCH] Just don't run coverage tests with Python 3.6 + Windows

Another test matrix setup I tried is this:

  jobs:
    coverage:
        matrix:
          os:
            - macos-latest
            - windows-latest
            - ubuntu-latest
          python-version:
            - 2.7
          include:
            - python-version: 3.6
              os:
                - macos-latest
                - ubuntu-latest
            - python-version: 3.6
              os: windows-latest
              experimental: true

But that failed on Python 3.6 + macOS with a simple error message, and
no further explanation: "This check failed".  Huh?

Might simply exclude Windows altogether, because that approach sort of
worked in another experiment.
