Silencing mmap mypy warning on windows (#11570)

* silencing the mmap mypy warning on windows

even though the lib doesn't exist on this platform

* better way without coverage issues

* trying with pragma no cover :(

* using type: ignore

* another test with pragma: no cover

* testing type: ignore with specific exclusions
