(perl #133462) add specific test run instructions to README.win32
README.win32 provides generally standalone instructions for running and testing perl, but unlike INSTALL didn't provide instructions for repeating individual tests. Both perlguts and INSTALL provide instructions on repeating individual tests, and considering at the point a user want this information they don't have a working perl installation, I think it's reasonable to repeat it here.
