tools: make choco install script readable

[RedYetiDev]

This PR improves the readability of the chocolatey install script by splitting the long command into multiple lines.

Trailing backticks cannot be used here as the PowerShell command is invoked in the context of a batch file. The trailing caret ^ (strictly the last character on the line) is the line continuation character for batch scripts, unless an unpaired double quote " is present on the line, in which case the caret is treated as a literal character, even without a closing quote.

" are not used in the newlines, so what is the issue?

The current issue is, in batch files, backticks can not be used as line continuation character. Carets ^ have to be used for that purpose.

(What I wrote about " was an additional explanation/caution about how double-quotes. in some circumstances, might silently cause problems and disturb the ^ rule for line continuation. It does not apply to your current modifications, but something to watch for)

"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" ^
-NoProfile ^
-InputFormat None ^

Ditto for rest of the lines
