Net-Ping: creating an icmp socket requires admin access on recent cygwin
on recent Windows.
cygwin on XP can create an icmp socket as a normal user but can't do
anything with it. On Vista or Win7 the process must be running as
an admin to create the socket.
If someone sees value in running the test on cygwin on XP, they can
provide a patch.

fix the cygwin breakage introduced in 2f794ae1
All modern Win32 systems* require admin access to use ICMP sockets from
cygwin, the refactor in 2f794ae1 changed the condition for the skip,
producing a failure here when the test is run unprivileged under
cygwin.
* assuming XP can be called modern
