Self-contained sonar-scanner package

Hi Roemer,
thank you for providing the sonar-scanner package to the choco community!
It works great in my evaluation and it's nearly the most current version.

One problem I have when using your package is that it is basically just an packaged downloader and my build agents are not connected to the internet (for that I have the nuget server).

Do you think it would be an good idea to make the package self contained by moving the downloading of the sonar scanner zip file to build time instead of install time? So instead of in chocolateyinstall.ps1 to the I guess build.cake and using Get-ChocolateyUnzip in the chocolateyinstall.ps1 to unzip.

I know this would result in longer build times and basically duplicated binaries (zip file), but the nuget package would then be independent of other infrastructure and self contained.

What are your thoughts on that?

There are two problems:

1. I tried that with several other libraries but I alway had problem with chocolatey and uploading packages when they are bigger then 1 mb. Even with small packages I often have to try 2-3 times until it works.
2. For this, I would need an official statement / license from sonar that it is ok to re-distribute their binaries.

1. is just anoying but will work with retries.
If you could check 2. and if this is bulletproof, I can do this. Otherwise chocolatey won't accept the package. That's also the reason why the mssql odbc and sqlcmd are not self-contained.
