Added info for Chocolatey users on Windows. Should probably add Homebrew for mac and the major linux package managers, as these are a much simpler way of getting the binaries.

Thank you for this PR, @stibinator!
Overall, I think it is a good idea to add this, but please have a look at the comments I left.

The PR should also include the package managers for macOS and Linux

I'd like to add this, but I don't have access to mac or linux systems to check it on.

Let's avoid adding the commands here, we should link to their official page that shows how to use the packages, if we duplicate things here, they can get easily out of date.

Description
Added info about how to use the Chocolatey package manager to install the binaries.
Motivation and Context
Because the instructions currently don't tell users how to easily download and install the drivers I was about to give up in disgust, when I thought to try chocolatey, and it was ridiculously easy. Using a package manager is by far the easiest way to install and maintain packages like this. Homebrew and dpkg / rpm /yum etc should be added too. That is if you want to reduce the friction for new users.
