Implements support for backgrounding pipelines with &. Putting & at the end of a pipeline will cause the pipeline
to be run as a PowerShell job. When a pipeline is backgrounded a job object is returned. Once the pipeline is
running as a job, all of the normal job cmdlets can be used to manage the job. Variables (ignoring process-specific
variables) used in the pipeline are automatically copied to the job so
copy $foo $bar &
just works. The job is also run in the current directory instead of the user's home directory as is the case with Start-Job.Implement

* Remove unneeded comments from PSD1 files
* Rename test modules
Remove approved verbs (Get-Verb) from module names.
* Enhance ShouldBeErrorId to output exception into pipeline for later analysis
* Remove unneeded comments
* Resolve merge conflict

1. Add autoload for test modules
2. Move TestHostCS.psm1 to 'test\tools\Modules\' folder
3. Remove explicit load TestHostCS.psm1 from test files
* Fix GetType() bad pattern and related issues in tests
$var.GetType() can raise an exception in tests so we should check $var
before make the call. A large part of the tests does not make this
check.
I start with searching ".GetType()" but discovered many related issues
in tests (reduntant and unneeded tests, "throw" bad pattens, bugs,
formattings (sorry!) and so on) - I had to fix them too.
* Fix after code review
* Second wave of migration GetType() -> BeOfType
Removed 'GetType().Name' patterns.
* Improve console cmdlets tests
Main improvements refer to tests of the Write-Host cmdlet.
Original tests:
1. Slow because run external processes
2. Don't test colors and -NoNewLine in fact.
1. The original tests is preserved (deleted one as redundant) but marked
by 'Slow' tag. They is preserved because they actually check the output
on the work, not a test console.
2. Add negative color tests. (Code cover grow!)
3. Add tests based on TestHostCS. This test host has been refined so we
can see colors and a new line in output.
4. Add minor fixes for test modules loads.
Also I add support for Information stream. I originally planned to use
it but not actually used. However, I have left this as a useful addition
for future tests.
I wonder that a Write-Host console output is duplicated in Information
Stream - Is it by design? I left a debug print on this matter in the
test code.
* Fix after code review
* Corrections after code review
Suppress import-module warnings
Rename Describes
Add "-Object" test
Add Stream.Information tests with TestHostCS
* Add checks for Streams.Information and add comments
set executable bit on Linux/MacOS as that's what determines whether something
is executable. Also simplify partial path creation, only remove up to the first
colon, so those filesystems which have a single root are treated properly
This restructuring moves tests to a directory name which matches the module
in which the cmdlet resides which should improve the discoverability of a
specific test.
For tests which are not about cmdlets in a module, new directories have been
created to make those tests easier to find as well
