The builtin way of Windows for handling zip files is much slower than
using 7zip. A small benchmark (not representative, just extracting the
android ndk) showed 11 minutes using Extract-Zip vs 2,5 minutes using
Extract-7Zip on my machine.

While Coin should also see exit codes != 0 as error, we should
stick to one way of handling script errors. As Power Shell cmdlets
signal an error by throwing an exception we should do the same
(and that approach also works in Coin).
Additionally extracting 7zip files was unified across scripts by
using the existing helper function instead of reinventing the wheel
again and again.
A similar helper function was introduced for starting an external
application (and handling its errors).
Also echo and other "cmd" commands were replaced by their PowerShell
equivalents to have a unified approach across our Windows provisioning
scripts.

Internal resources are preferred and should be used first.
