I've just made the "continuous-integration/appveyor/pr" status check
optional on the 3.6 branch to unblock the development for now.

Indeed, AppVeyor's REST API doesn't work:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APPVEYOR_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type:
application/json" -X DELETE
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/python/cpython/buildcache
{"message":"You do not have required permissions to perform this action."}

I'm going to try to make you an admin on python/cpython, but I find
GitHub's user/team management UI a bit confusing, so no promise :)
