Support Windows Engine

[dnephin]

Issues with Compose pointing at an Engine running on Windows (i.e. Windows containers) are collected under the group/windows-server label. The Compose client could be running on either Linux or Windows.

This is a list of things we want to deliver for Compose 1.8 related to Windows Engine.

• Networking doesn't work with Windows containers due to disconnecting containers from networks Networking doesn't work with Windows containers due to disconnecting containers from networks #3252
• Windows volume paths don't work volumes: in docker-compose.yml error with invalid type or invalid volume error on Windows Server 2016 TP4 #2487 (we can look at how docker-cli does it)
• Support npipe for docker host Support npipe url values for DOCKER_HOST #3170

@dnephin the checklist shows that networking in windows due to disconnecting containers from networks not supported in windows as fixed. However when i try head of docker engine, swarm and compose, i still get the error that "windows doesn't support disconnecting containers from networks". Is this still something pending to be fixed ?

It's still pending, I've unchecked the box.
