Ethan Atkins e3625ca8b0 Fix repository setup on windows
Windows io really doesn't handle concurrent readers and writers all that
well. Using the LegacyFileTreeRepository was problematic in windows
scripted tests because even though the repository implementation did not
use the cache in its list methods, it did persistently monitor the
directories that were registered. The monitor has to do a lot of
io on a background thread to maintain the cache. This caused io
contention that would cause IO.createDirectory to fail with an obscure
AccessDeniedException. The way to avoid this is to prevent the
background io from occurring at all.

I don't necessarily think this will impact most users running sbt
interactively with a cache, but it did cause scripted tests to fail. For
that reason I made the default in non-interactive/shell use cases on
windows to be a PollingFileRepository which never monitors the file
system except when we are in a watch. The LegacyFileTreeRepository works
fine on mac and linux which have a more forgiving file system.

To make this work, I had to add FileManagement.toMonitoringRepository.
There are now two kinds of repositories that cannot monitor on their
own: HybridPollingFileTreeRepository and PollingFileRepository. The
FileManagement.toMonitoringRepository makes a new repository that turns
on monitoring for those two repository types and disables the close
method on all other repositories so that closing the FileEventMonitor
does not actually close the global file repository.
