auto merge of #12523 : alexcrichton/rust/ignore-some-windows-tests, r=pnkfelix

These two tests are notoriously flaky on the windows bots right now, so I'm
ignoring them until I can investigate them some more. The truncate_works test
has been flaky for quite some time, but it has gotten much worse recently. The
test_exists test has been flaky since the recent std::run rewrite landed.
Finally, the "unix pipe" test failure is a recent discovery on the try bots. I
haven't seen this failing much, but better safe than sorry!
