Replace em-dashes in PowerShell scripts with ASCII hyphens

PowerShell 5.1 reads .ps1 files as the local ANSI codepage by default,
so non-ASCII characters get garbled. An em-dash inside a string literal
broke install-service.ps1 with a parser error. Sticking to ASCII in
script source avoids the entire class of issue.
