make check failures on windows 7

[liigo]

When I try to compile Rust from latest source.

failures:

[mrec]

I've just built Rust from latest source (for the first time) on Win7-64, and with make check-fast I only get the second of these:

failures:

---- [run-pass] run-pass/struct-lit-functional-update-no-fields.rs stdout ----
        task '[run-pass] run-pass/struct-lit-functional-update-no-fields.rs' fai
led at 'failed to exec `i686-pc-mingw32\test\run-pass\struct-lit-functional-upda
te-no-fields.stage2-i686-pc-mingw32.exe`', C:\msys\home\Mike\rust\src\libstd\opt
ion.rs:245

failures:
    [run-pass] run-pass/struct-lit-functional-update-no-fields.rs

test result: FAILED. 1401 passed; 1 failed; 42 ignored; 0 measured

If I try to run struct-lit-functional-update-no-fields.stage2-i686-pc-mingw32.exe directly from a cmd prompt, I get a UAC prompt. I don't know whether that's expected behaviour or even a sensible thing to try, but I tried the same with a few of the non-failing tests and got a different error (complaining about missing what looks like a temporary test fixture DLL).

@mrec recent windows (>= 7) triggers UAC if executable has "update" in filename. There was attempt to fix it by adding manifest (#10878) but it was reverted later since it caused some other issues.
What we do now is to rename files if it causes problem. :( #13795 has a patch for it.

[Rufflewind]

Here is a fix/workaround for the bug with exponential-notation.rs.

These tests are both currently running successfully on our windows bots.
