Installers might not like being renamed to packagenameInstall.exe when being downloaded to temporary folder. MiKTeX for example failed to install with a differently named installer.

Migrated from chocolatey-archive/chocolatey#538

MSIs also hate it.

(GH-435) Use Original Download File Name
9c2a554 
When possible, use the original download file name. Some installers,
especially some MSI installers don't like to be renamed and do not
function properly when they are renamed. Use the original name so that
everything works appropriately.

I will be happy to see it in the stable so that I can change the miktex package. Or I'll just leave it as it is. Doesn't hurt anyone after all.

(chocolateyGH-435) Get-FileName enhancements
7777d6e 
- If the url is null, return the default file name.
- Add debugging messages for further investigation
- Allow file names to have spaces in them. The regex that is detecting
illegal file name characters has whitespace, so add the option to
ignore pattern whitespace. This allows file names with spaces like
originally intended.
