Subject: [PATCH] prevent testing windows on Windows 10 platforms --- Since
 Windows 10 has gone EOL we should stop testing Windows CI for kilted and
 older. This change uses an artifact in the ParametrizedBuildTrigger plugin to
 prevent the build up based on a file creation. This file is dynamically
 generated with a bash script as the first build step.
