(GH-1292) add note on manifest caching
Windows behavior of manifest caching is enough to make even the best of admins and developers want to tear out their hair until they realize there is a cache and changes to the manifest are completely ignored by Windows. So leave a breadcrumb here so that folks know if they make a change to the manifest file, they will need to "touch" the file they are trying to get the manifest to take effect for - in this case choco.exe. The modification date will need changed to clue Windows in that there is a new manifest. This is only when changing the file AFTER the exe / modification date has been run even once. It's better to just say to always update the modification date as someone may not know whether the file has been ran before.
