Skip test_cleanup_on_badconn_close on Windows

The Windows server version of PostgreSQL uses a function called pgkill in the
file kill.c in place of the UNIX kill function.  This pgkill function
simulates some of the SIGHUP like commands by passing signals through a named
pipe.  Because it is passing the signal through a pipe, the server doesn't get
the kill signal immediately and therefore fails the test on
test_connection.ConnectionTests.test_cleanup_on_badconn_close.
Ideally, the test should check to see if the server is running on Windows, not
the psycopg.
