Fixes #154. GitHub Actions have a wrapper for `choco install` called `Choco-Install`, which automatically supports retries. Per comment at actions/runner-images#3493 (comment), I am trying this now to see if it does the job for us. * See actions/runner-images#721 for implementation of `Choco-Install`.
Not 100% sure on the quoting for --params, testing here.

Apparently, two instances of "choco install mingw" running simultaneously
for go-version 1.18.x and 1.19.x would cause at least one of them to
fail to connect to SourceForge:
ERROR: The remote file either doesn't exist, is unauthorized,
or is forbidden for url
'https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/ray_linn/GCC-10.X-with-ada/GCC-10.2.0-crt-8.0.0-with-ada-20201019.7z/download'.
Exception calling "GetResponse" with "0" argument(s):
"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."
With Choco-Install however, it just works, every time!
Thanks to keymanapp/api.keyman.com#156 for the great tip!

Fixes #154.
Note that Choco does not currently have support for retries (chocolatey/choco#385).
