Appveyor build fails for 3.6 backport

The compile and build errors have nothing to do with the patch.

This failure is routine; turning off appveyor for 3.6, until fixed, would
reduce noise.

I presume this is a workflow issue, but I don't know if Windows experts
would see it.

I had not seen that failure before, but it is troubling.  For
AppVeyor, it looks like we might be able to get around it by using the
`cache` feature (which we should probably do anyway), but if that
failure happens routinely otherwise, we may have to completely rethink
the approach I've taken in https://bugs.python.org/issue30450

If by 'cache', you mean keep a current build of the main x.y branch, and
only recompile what is needed, and skip compile for .py and .rst only patches, thereby speeding up CI testing, I would be all in favor.
