Win, #519: FIX undead Git-daemon on Windows
+ On MINGW-git, daemon exists but if invoked as 'git daemon', DAEMON CANNOT DIE! + So, launch `git-daemon` on Apveyor, but - remote TCs fail due to paths problems. + Updated README instructions on Windows. + Restore disabled remote TCs on Windows. + Disable failures on daemon-tests only the last moment (raise SkipTest) so when ready, it will also pass.

-The easiest way to run test is by using [tox](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tox) a wrapper around virtualenv. It will take care of setting up environnements with the proper dependencies installed and execute test commands. To install it simply:
+On *Windows*, make sure you have `git-daemon` in your PATH. For MINGW-git, the `git-daemon.exe`
+exists in `Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core\`; CYGWIN has no daemon, but should get along fine
+with MINGW's.
