Windows CLI hangs on "Selecting the fastest server based on ping"

[IncPlusPlus]

When running the librespeed-cli command on Windows, it hangs on Selecting the fastest server based on ping. It then stays like that permanently until forcibly stopped.

The cause of this is explained in go-ping/ping#17. It is also explained in the Supported Operating Systems section of the README. I'd make a PR to fix this but I know so little about Go that I can't identify where this fix would go in speedtest.go.

Can you try v1.0.9, this issue should be fixed by commit 08d21d6.

@IncPlusPlus Hi, could you help confirm if this issue has been resolved by the latest release? Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. It's been a crazy week. The error does still show up when using the --verbose switch but it does make it past that point. It completes the ping and the rest of the speed test just fine now.
