Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

After installing a choco package, to add the new executable to the path, run this in powershell:

$env:ChocolateyInstall = Convert-Path "$((Get-Command choco).Path)\..\.." 
Import-Module "$env:ChocolateyInstall\helpers\chocolateyProfile.psm1"
refreshenv

The "problem" is that the PATH is completely overwritten. If you had modified it dynamically in the shell, prior to running refreshenv, the information is purged.

Maybe the user expects such a result. And, that is the desired behavior. But for me, if I had previously just run

$env:PATH = "$env:PATH;$new_path_entry"

I don't want to lose $new_path_entry by running refreshenv.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

A proposed solution:

Add a -help flag for options to refreshenv.
Add a -keep flag to cause refreshenv to make a local copy of PATH before it does the refresh, and then merge the original and the new values together so that the final resulting PATH includes everything, and data is not lost.
