Add note to README.md about PowerShell (#69, #76)

Browse Source 
Despite appearances, the ">" operator is actually a pipe to Out-File,
and GetFileType() returns FILE_TYPE_PIPE for that handle. It is not
seekable and does not behave like a file. By default it re-encodes its
input, which is virtually always destructive, unwanted, and surprising.
Regardless of the wording in its documentation, it is not possible to
connect process output to a file, and PowerShell does not support file
redirection.
