[Twisted-Python] Installing Twisted on a clean Windows system

[Amber Brown]

Twisted does not yet support Python 3.7. Due to syntax changes and other
changes, as well as the non-availability of build infrastructure at this
moment (e.g. it doesn't work on Travis, we haven't tried appveyor), we
can't yet fully identify what's wrong and fix it with confidence.

I would suggest sticking with 3.6 until at least 3.7.1 rolls around, by
which time it's likely that Twisted and other projects have had time to
catch up.
