Skip batch-preserve-term-settings.exp tests that cannot work on Windows.

This group of tests assume that the gdb "shell" command launches a
POSIX-compliant shell supporting the PPID environment variable, which
is used to get gdb's pid for killing it from a remote_exec shell.  But
on Windows host "shell" launches cmd.exe, which doesn't have an
equivalent query.
