Update installer to add "App Path" location for pwsh.exe #6046

@lwsrbrts

Description

@lwsrbrts

Steps to reproduce

Windows only. Attempting to start "pwsh.exe" (without the path included) using Task Scheduler results in a file not found error. The same with "Powershell.exe" works as expected.

Expected behavior

For pwsh.exe to run and perform the activities in the arguments, be that a file or whatever.

Actual behavior

See #5919
#5226 is also vaguely related.

Environment data

> $PSVersionTable
Name                           Value
----                           -----
PSVersion                      6.0.1
PSEdition                      Core
GitCommitId                    v6.0.1
OS                             Microsoft Windows 10.0.16299
Platform                       Win32NT
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3
SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1
WSManStackVersion              3.0

Choosing to define the entire path isn't a solution, only a temporary workaround until the next release of PowerShell Core, then the folder name changes... 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 for example.

As per #5919, the resolution would seem to be to create an App Path entry for "pwsh.exe" as is in place for "Powershell.exe" already - presumably updated/maintained by the Windows installers.
