Description

## Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

No.

## Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Today `choco info` returns info about a single package. This is inconsistent with `choco list` which can take a list of packages.

## Additional Context.

It should be possible to get information about multiple packages in a single command, rather than running the command multiple times with different inputs.

## Related Issues

Research direction

Start by locating the command entry points for `choco info` and `choco list`, then review related issue #2899 for context. Compare how the two commands accept package arguments and define completion behavior. Done means `choco info` can report multiple requested packages in one invocation rather than requiring repeated commands.
