test-https: properly conditionalize Windows vs non-Windows output

There's a bug in the (feature !) annotation, and this needs to be resolved
before fixing it.  Once fixed, the glob '*/missing' will match the output
'/missing' on non-Windows platforms, consuming the output line and leaving
nothing for the no-windows required line.

I probably should have made (foo !) match only the 'foo' feature, and be ignored
otherwise instead of optional.  (re) didn't work here, because the parenthesis
need to be escaped too.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
