Description
We should add clarification to the docs on this:
The script suggest running with flags -debug or -verbose, but it's unclear how to do that when the command is:
iex (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://aka.ms/rnw-vs2022-deps.ps1');
Attempting to do iex (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://aka.ms/rnw-vs2022-deps.ps1 -verbose'); did not work.

Research direction
Locate the documentation for the Dependency Script and review the command using https://aka.ms/rnw-vs2022-deps.ps1. Clarify how to pass the -Debug or -Verbose flags when the script is downloaded and executed with iex. Done means the documented invocation is unambiguous and avoids treating the URL itself as the command argument.
