Description of change

Update the Windows Chocolatey installation command in README.md from visualstudio2022-workload-vctools to visualstudio2026-workload-vctools so new installations use the latest Visual Studio generation. Point the Chocolatey link to the community site and link the workload package directly from the installation instructions.

The Visual Studio 2026 workload package is available, and node-gyp already supports Visual Studio 2026 detection.

Validation
  • npm run lint passed.
  • NODE_GYP_NULL_LOGGER=true npm exec -- mocha --timeout 30000 --bail test/test-find-visualstudio.js passed: 43 tests, including Visual Studio 2026 detection.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • The Chocolatey installation command was not executed; validation ran on Linux.
Checklist
  • documentation is changed or added
  • commit message follows the conventional commit guidelines
