Description
Currently, when retrieving packages from the API, it'll give you all the information about the package itself, but nothing about it's Install Loacation, or a number of things like SxS, pinned, or other chocolatey specific features. It would be great if listing local packages included all the above information and remote packages included the above when the package is installed (if possible). Thanks!!

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the package retrieval API and the local package-listing path, comparing how local and remote packages are represented. Done means installed-package results expose install location, SxS, pinned, and other Chocolatey-specific fields, with remote results including them when the package is installed.
