installation, overriding any saved consent preferences.
 
.PARAMETER ConsentToThirdPartySoftwareInstallation
Automatically consent to third-party software installation and set a persistent
preference flag for SQL Server package, bypassing interactive consent prompts.
 
.EXAMPLE
New-SQLServerDatabase -DatabaseName "MyNewDatabase" -Server "localhost"
