t3700: Skip a test with backslashes in pathspec

The test verifies that glob special characters can be escaped with
backslashes.  In particular, the string fo\[ou\]bar is given to git.

On Windows, this does not work because backslashes are first of all
directory separators, and first thing git does with a pathspec from the
command line is to convert backslashes to forward slashes.
