conda-smithy: AppVeyor VS2008 slow startup/memory issues

Seems there is a rather strange issue happening on the VS2008 builds unrelated to the recipe here. They seem to be taking a really long time to run and may be running out of memory as this build shows. Not sure if this is a conda problem (infinite recursion and so on) or a VM memory problem.

Maybe. Really all we can do is systematically eliminate problems until we are left with the source of the issue. Right now it looks like ruamel_yaml is part of the problem. So eliminating that variable should help.

Also @MSeifert04 I stopped and restarted that build. Not because it is occupying the queue, but because it looks like it was going to timeout anyways (AppVeyor has a 1hr limit). As all the other builds passed and deployed, this should make sure that one build should too. Hope that is ok.

FWIW, I am not seeing delays in python 2.7 jobs in other (non-conda-forge-related) appveyor jobs…
