.Synopsis
    Install PowerShell on Windows, Linux or macOS.
.DESCRIPTION
    By default, the latest PowerShell release package will be installed.
    If '-Daily' is specified, then the latest PowerShell daily package will be installed.
.Parameter Destination
    The destination path to install PowerShell to.
.Parameter Daily
    Install PowerShell from the daily build.
    Note that the 'PackageManagement' module is required to install a daily package.
.Parameter DoNotOverwrite
    Do not overwrite the destination folder if it already exists.
.Parameter AddToPath
    On Windows, add the absolute destination path to the 'User' scope environment variable 'Path';
    On Linux, make the symlink '/usr/bin/pwsh' points to "$Destination/pwsh";
    On MacOS, make the symlink '/usr/local/bin/pwsh' points to "$Destination/pwsh".
.EXAMPLE
    Install the daily build
    .\install-powershell.ps1 -Daily
.EXAMPLE
    Invoke this script directly from GitHub
