add optional "test-time" customization of AppVeyor test runner
* add $env:APPVEYOR_CHOCO_PESTER_OPTIONS to the `choco` install command for the `pester` test runner within the "appveyor.yml" config file * NOTE: AppVeyor testing will issue advisory note when the variable is non-NULL * allows customization of `pester` install, eg, version pinning, without requiring any further, future changes to "appveyor.yml", avoiding log noise * mitigates test failures due solely to the test runner .# Discussion This change was implemented in response to multiple automated test failures which occurred due to a regression within the `pester` test runner. The change adds the ability to specify the `pester` version (aka, "version pinning") on AppVeyor via the "test-time" configurable environment variable, $env:APPVEYOR_CHOCO_PESTER_OPTIONS. By using this configurability, no changes to the project code base are needed when testing with a specific test runner version is needed, eg, when "pester@latest" is bugged. This avoids adding commits, which are otherwise irrelevant to development, to the project history. To pin a specific version of `pester`, set the "APPVEYOR_CHOCO_PESTER_OPTIONS" environment variable to "--version=M.m.b" (eg, "--version=3.3.11") via the AppVeyor project settings web page; a NULL or missing value will cause the usual installation of "pester@latest". Notably, this does add a semi-hidden testing dependency. But, if testing is successful for a given setting of the environment variable (eg, empty/NULL or "--version=M.m.b"), it will continue to succeed for tests on subsequent commits. The only caveat is that if some added functionality of a "pester@later" version is used, the remote automated testing might fail due to `pester` being pinned to an earlier version. Because of this, the testing code issues an advisory notation that the test runner installation has been customized whenever the environment variable contains a non-NULL value.
