      Description

      At least on Windows 10, chocolatey fails to install the provider when:

      • Agent / Puppet is run in a non-interactive session and
      • Windows native unzip is used

      Workaround:
      use_7zip => false

      Notes:
      This issue seems to rise because the com object used for [unzip](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-chocolatey/blob/master/templates/InstallChocolatey.ps1.erb#L103)
      We should rather use a more 'modern' Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
