[Twisted-Python] RunningTwisted tests on Windows and SSL

[Craig Rodrigues]

Do not run the tests directly from the source tree.
Instead, you should install Twisted into a virtualenv
and run "trial twisted" from inside the virtualenv and outside the source
tree.
The installer has some logic to omit the installation of certain modules
and tests
which do not work on Python 3.

You can also run the tests by using tox as specified here:

https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/trunk/README.rst#unit-tests

because tox takes care of setting up the virtualenv and running the
tests inside the virtualenv.
