Windows support

[kirijiri]

Wiz currently works on Linux and Mac, but not on windows. It should work cross platform.

Looks like 'pwd' (https://docs.python.org/2/library/pwd.html) is only for linux and does not have a good alternative on windows. We might have to write something to retrieve the full user name ourselves in both platforms.

The 'termios' library also only exists for Unix (https://docs.python.org/2/library/termios.html). There is a TermiWin (https://github.com/ChristianVisintin/termiWin) but it even states that it should only be used when you don't need performance and high reliability. Taking termios out makes the wiz shell spawn on windows.

Since there does not seem to be a an appropriate substitute for termios (pty in particular) on windows, I've been checking how Rez got its windows shell and found this thread: https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/issues/55 Looks like rez shells are plugins: https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/tree/master/src/rezplugins/shell

For windows only CMD and PowerShell are supported in Rez: https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/blob/99e0ddb0f501d8efaaf7fc524b11db5244f67abb/src/rezplugins/shell/powershell.py https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/blob/663efc277924bdb353c85869585132f4191b703e/src/rezplugins/shell/cmd.py

There does not seem to be windows support for bash, which is what Wiz uses in unix right now: https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/blob/676a6236a51f2207267c91722328a682b76802aa/src/rezplugins/shell/bash.py#L91
