We got some feedback that is wasn't easy to build Chocolatey CLI, as there were errors during process. This commit attempts to address this gap, and provide a complete list of all requirements/assumptions.
While this is not strictly needed, as the MSI for Chocolatey CLI is not always built, the inclusion of the *.wixproj in the Visual Studio *.sln file means that some parts of the build (like the restore task), does attempt to do stuff with WiX. While this doesn't actually stop the build from happening, as error is shown, and can cause confusion. Always installing the WiX tool prevents these errors from showing.

The tests do need Pester 5.3.1 - should this be installed here? (And probably mention this in the README?

Execution of the Pester tests is best done via the Vagrantfile that is provided, since it is possible that changes could be made to your system as a result of running the tests. This is documented here: https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/blob/develop/TESTING.md#pester-tests
I notice that we don't have a link to this section from the README.md file, which we likely should have.
