Windows has a much stricter file locking so if we use the same file in two
tests it might happen that two tests try to access the same file at the
same time. As a result one of the two tests fails because it can't open the
test file. See https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/22954/ for the fix.

Markus
