Description:
Test 'partition_mgm_err2' fails on Windows with

 mysqltest: At line 22: query 'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (15)' failed: 1017: Can't find file:
't1' (errno: 2)

How to repeat:
Run test case on Windows

This test now hangs both the partition and the partition_mgm_err2 test cases on Windows.
To enable tests to proceed these test cases are not executed on Windows anymore by
adding the line
-- source include/not_windows.inc
to the test initialisation

On the windows platform server has support of only for symlinked directories, but this
test requires symlinked files. Thus it should be disabled on windows.
