After migrating provider to material_ui and cupertino_ui, Flutter's customer tests started experiencing a failure on this test due to a stack overflow. This PR disables the test for now. See #925.

This change avoids the reported test failure but also removes large-provider regression coverage on Ubuntu. A Windows-only skip would preserve that coverage; the remaining risk is bounded and does not establish a production failure.

Limit the large-provider test skip to Windows.

skip: true disables this test on the Ubuntu CI runner. Issue 925 reports the stack overflow on Windows, so use a Windows-only skip to preserve non-Windows regression coverage.

I'd rather not skip it in my CI. We'd want to skip it only in whatever infra used by flutter_test

Ah I see. I think I can just do that in the test command in flutter/tests. I'll do that in flutter/tests#498 and close this.
