Add initial test_env_vars_for_windows_tests

The new test method just verifies the current behavior of the
HIDE_WINDOWS_KNOWN_ERRORS and HIDE_WINDOWS_FREEZE_ERRORS
environment variables. This is so there is a test to modify when
changing that behavior. The purpose of these tests is *not* to
claim that the behavior of either variable is something code that
uses GitPython can (or has ever been able to) rely on.

This also adds pytest-subtests as a dependency, so multiple
failures from the subtests can be seen in the same test run.
