Added instructions for installing Git using Chocolatey. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
The `Git.Git` package in winget is maintained by volunteers. At any given moment, it could lag behind, or point to a bogus package. This has not been made clear, which is hereby fixed. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Context
The Windows downloads page only lists winget. Chocolatey is also widely used on Windows, especially in enterprise environments. Adding it gives users another supported install method.
