Subject: [PATCH] Show a preview of blocked/substituted downloads in
 Get-WinSCP.ps1

The 1MB size-check catches a bad download but gave no way to see why - on a
locked-down network something is very likely substituting a small HTML page
(proxy/AV block page) for the real zip. Print the first lines of whatever
was actually saved so the content is visible without another round trip.
