win: add curl-style install script (#14178)

This adds a new powershell install script suitable for running via

  irm https://ollama.com/install.ps1 | iex

If you download the script and run '-?' it reports basic usage
information, as well as usage examples for common customization
options.  The script is signed as part of the release process
to ensure it can run on a typically configured Windows system.

This does not include doc updates - we can merge those after a release
ships to avoid user confusion.
