(#1267)(#1270) Upgrade chocolatey-software packages

[st3phhays]

Description Of Changes

This updates a number of chocolatey-software packages and brings in new features to automate development and testing of these packages on the docs site. Now, a new script has been added to automate the linking of the choco-theme GitHub branch for easier testing. This also upgrades all of the Astro packages to their latest compatible versions. See the release notes at:
https://github.com/chocolatey/choco-theme/releases

Motivation and Context

With more folks working with choco-theme, we needed an easier way to automate the linking of the choco-theme branches to each repository for easier and faster testing, without having to worry about copy/pasting things. We also wanted to bring in all the Astro fixes and features available.

Testing

• I have previewed these changes using the Docker Container or another method before submitting this pull request.

1. Make sure you have the choco-theme branch pulled down and have ran yarn.
2. Make sure you have this branch pulled down.
3. Ensure you have ran the steps in choco-theme to link local packages.
4. From the root of the docs repository run:
   1. yarn
   2. yarn link-local build-tools
5. Inspect the package.json file in the docs repository. Ensure the entry for the build-tools package changed to the path of your local copy of choco-theme.
6. From the root of the docs repository run yarn link-github release/2.5.0 astro build-tools docs.
7. Inspect the package.json again, and this time the versions for the docs, astro, and build-tools packages should reference a version in the format like chocolatey/choco-theme#head=release/2.5.0&workspace=@chocolatey-software/astro (where after the last slash it references the correct package name).
8. Run yarn dev to spin up the website and ensure all looks correct. No visual or functionality changes should have been made.
9. Once complete stop the website, revert the changes to the package.json and yarn.lock files, and leave a comment notifying @st3phhays of the status.
