chocoInstall calls choco unpackself which throws up a prompt if the shell is not elevated or running as an admin user.

This blocks the installation on user input, which makes unattended installations without admin rights impossible at the moment (which is important for CI like environments or scripts).

(chocolateyGH-274) Allow unattended installs as non-admin user
92a1621 
Previously, if a non-admin user attempted to install chocolatey,
a message indicating that non-admin installs were for advanced
users only would appear and block the installation.

Advanced users know what they are doing, so allow them to
set the ChocolateyEnvironmentAllowGlobalConfirmation environment
variable, just like they can pass -y to any other invocation
of chocolatey.

(chocolateyGH-274) nuget: Clean up how debugMode is expressed
5ab9c05 
Previously we had an if condition on debugMode, but it is more
concise to just express it as a string appended to the list
of options passed to choco.

1c0fc64 
Previously, if a non-admin user attempted to install chocolatey,
a message indicating that non-admin installs were for advanced
users only would appear and block the installation.

This runs contrary to chocolatey policy, so just pass -y during
the unpackself command. The installation should never block.

(GH-274) install - fix unpack self
9da3fef 
Having the $debugModeParams touching the other items is actually
causing harm. Separate the item and start it out as $null instead of
empty string.
