Document problems with Chef provisioner in README
As Packer currently has no support for WinRM and all communication with the VM is done over SSH in Cygwin, some Packer features fail to work properly including Chef. While Chef works for many packages, it doesn't work with those that make assumptions about available programs in PATH such as msiexec.exe. This patch addresses the issue by documenting the problem in README.md with hopes that future developers will spend less time trying to solve Chef-related issues.
