Native bst support on Windows w/ WSL, remote execution only

As outlined in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/buildstream-list/2018-May/msg00066.html:

Even when the target platform is Linux, there is a large set of developers on either OS X or Windows [laptops]. As we are considering different execution environments on workers, we can also start considering supporting BuildStream natively in these environments.

Remote execution only support is a good starting point. This issue specifically limits the scope to Windows w/ WSL installed (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about).

Some work may be possible to start, but completion will depend on the remote execution client landing in BuildStream #454 (closed)
