Add OutputDirectory property for Chocolatey Aliases

[gep13]

Once 0.10.0 is released:

chocolatey/choco#598 (comment)

@gep13 This seems like a duplicate of #510 which was fixed with b918397

[gep13]

@pascalberger yes and no.

That commit is really tricking chocolatey into thinking that it is running in the specified output directory, hence, that is where the output file goes.

Now in the chocolatey client there is an option to specify the output directory. The chocolatey aliases within Cake should correctly use that setting.

[gep13]

i.e. within the ChocolateyPackRunner, set the --outputdirectory command line option.

@gep13 Ah, missed this :)

I can create a PR for this. Can we expect users to have Chocolatey >= 0.10.0 installed?

[gep13]

@pascalberger that is a difficult one.

The stance I personally take on this is that the aliases should work against the current latest version of the underlying tool, however, we should probably do a check in this instance to make sure that the version is high enough before attempting to run that command.

Or, I wonder, would an earlier version of chocolatey just ignore it? Perhaps worth a quick investigation.
