Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

So here's my point, there is currently no official way to install Scoop for all users on a machine, it's possible to move the installation manually but it leads to a wacky behavior

Describe the solution you'd like

I already forked the code for the Installer and Scoop itself to make it work
It's still a very big work-in-progress, but right now I tried to use my work and this feature is functional
I'm not used to powershell and all that and I'm sorry if I did something wrong

Describe alternatives you've considered

I also thought that Scoop itself could also be install in any directory with the config file in this directory and the local/global directory being able to be completely different from the Scoop directory

Idk if you'll ever want to add this, but that's something I'd really like to see
Here's the Pull Requests for the installer and scoop
Thanks for your time

Edit : I modified it a bit so the Scoop installation directory could be completely separate from the 2 apps directories (local and global ones)
