add nightly test workflow, rm appveyor and travis config

[scottyhq]

this removes older CI config and adds a scheduled nightly test run, which hopefully will catch issues with new versions of dependency libraries (https://github.com/intake/intake-xarray/issues/98)

upstream failture in test_http_read_netcdf_dask, this line in particular assert isinstance(ds._file_obj, xr.backends.h5netcdf_.H5NetCDFStore) related to backend refactoring https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/4809

We're trying to test that if we specify engine='h5netcdf' in the intake.open_netcdf(), that backend/engine was in fact used to load the data. @dcherian, @alexamici, or @shoyer , would love your guidance on what attribute to use instead here going forward.

[shoyer]

I don't think we have a public API for this, unfortunately. This object is now stored at Dataset._close, which you might be made to reverse engineer to find the H5NetCDFStore class (but it isn't a supported solution).

One option might be to mock h5netcdf.File, which would let you verify that it is called.

[alexamici]

@scottyhq the next release of xarray will honour in all cases the engineargument it is passed (it was not the case in previous versions but only in unusual cases). If you want to actually test that xarray_kwargs reach xarray the simplest way is to mock xarray.open_dataset itself and check the it was called with engine=='h5netcdf'.

Would that be enough for your use case?
