fix: use -OutFile instead of ambiguous -o in PowerShell install command 
In PowerShell 7.6.0+, the -o shorthand for Invoke-WebRequest is
ambiguous because it matches multiple parameters (-OperationTimeoutSeconds,
-OutFile, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer), causing the install command to fail.

Replace -o with the full -OutFile parameter in all installation
documentation files.

Fixes #3199
