pull test data before run tests on windows #18

The test data already gets pulled in windows-builds, which is the preferred way of building mapnik on Windows at the moment.

But I think I'll move that step to either mapnik/scripts/build-local.bat or mapnik/scripts/build-appveyor.bat to make building mapnik more self contained.

@wsw0108

I've built a shortcut into the scripts and the easiest and fastest way of building mapnik should now be like:

git clone https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik.git
cd mapnik
scripts\build-local.bat "APPVEYOR="

While being more complex, windows-builds is still the recommended way to build mapnik.
