This downloads the latest binary, verifies its SHA256 checksum and GPG
signature (if gpg is installed), and installs to
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\codebahn`. Override with `$env:INSTALL_DIR`.

After install, add the directory to your PATH if the script warns it is
missing:

```powershell
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\codebahn;$([Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User'))", 'User')
```
signature (if gpg is installed), installs to
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\codebahn`, and adds it to your PATH.
Override the install location with `$env:INSTALL_DIR`. Restart your
terminal after install.
