I saw in the comments of 1411 that the PowerShell script for archiving needed to be updated to match the latest archive.sh

The attached file does that as well as a few other improvements. Here is the summary of changes:

• Added test for the existence of the INI file so that script will fail if the INI file location is bad (which typically happens after upgrade if your INI is in a different location than the default used in the script)
• Added function that is used to call to PHP.exe so that exit codes from the exe are trapped and the script is halted with an error if PHP returns a non-zero error code.
  This was added because I have been experiencing issues where PHP.exe CLI will crash when running archive but it does so silently when the archive is in a scheduled task. This should now cause the scheduled task to fail if the PHP.exe fails. This does not cover errors that are returned from the Piwik API
• Made the token a replacement tag in the command arguments so that the error text for failure does not contain the actual token value.
• Changed Write-Host to Write-Output which is better form since output can be redirected but Write-Host cannot.
• Changed errors to use Write-Error which is better PowerShell convention.
• Added Write-Verbose statement for PHP command arguments so that full arguments beign sent to the command can be inspected for debugging.
• Added segments archiving to match the archive.sh file
• Added ability to turn on logging of the PowerShell script to a log file. Log files rotate and the number of rotating logs is based on the $NUM_LOGS_TO_KEEP varaible at the top of the script. To turn on transcript logging, set $LOGGING_ENABLED to $true. The one drawback to this right now is that it doesn't capture the output of the PHP.exe so you don't get to see if there were errors returned from Piwik API.

If someone could get this into the codebase so that it becomes part of the next release, it would be much appreciated.
