This change moves powershell to .NET Core 2.0. Major changes are:
1. PowerShell assemblies are now targeting `netcoreapp2.0`. We are using `microsoft.netcore.app-2.0.0-preview1-001913-00`, which is from dotnet-core build 4/4/17. We cannot target `netstandard2.0` because the packages `System.Reflection.Emit` and `System.Reflection.Emit.Lightweight`, which are needed for powershell class, cannot be referenced when targeting `netstandard2.0`.
2. Refactor code to remove most CLR stub types and extension types.
3. Update build scripts to enable CI builds. The `-cache` section is specified to depend on `appveyor.yml`, so the cache will be invalidated if `appveyor.yml` is changed.
4. Ship `netcoreapp` reference assemblies with powershell to fix the issues in `Add-Type` (#2764). By default `Add-Type` will reference all those reference assemblies when compiling C# code. If `-ReferenceAssembly` is specified, then we search reference assemblies first, then the framework runtime assemblies, and lastly the loaded assemblies (possibly a third-party one that was already loaded).
5. `dotnet publish` generates executable on Unix platforms, but doesn't set "x" permission and thus it cannot execute. Currently, the "x" permission is set in the build script, `dotnet/cli` issue [#6286](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/6286) is tracking this.
6. Replace the use of some APIs with the ones that take `SecureString`.
7. osx.10.12 is required to update to `netcoreapp2.0` because `dotnet-cli` 2.0.0-preview only works on osx.10.12.
8. Add dependency to `System.ValueTuple` to work around a ambiguous type identity issue in coreclr. The issue is tracked by `dotnet/corefx` [#17797](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/17797). When moving to newer version of `netcoreapp2.0`, we need to verify if this dependency is still needed.

1. Add autoload for test modules
2. Move TestHostCS.psm1 to 'test\tools\Modules\' folder
3. Remove explicit load TestHostCS.psm1 from test files
* corrected use of PSModulePath casing to be consistent with Windows PowerShell
addresses #3227
* addressing review feedback
make "PSModulePath" into const

* 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
* Stifle progress output in build.psm1 for some operations
Modify test failure presentation to use platform available XML methods
* Add timeout support for returning runtime parsing errors
Some of the language/parser tests have been hanging in a non-reproducable manner which
causes the CI system to invalidate the entire run. This change adds support for timeout
which will fail a test if it runs to long, rather than invalidate the entire run.
current behavior is still supported, and is not done in a new session:
PS> get-runtimeerror -src '1/'
At line:1 char:3
+ 1/
+ ~
You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression
Adding a timeout will do the operation in a async powershell session
PS> get-runtimeerror -src '1/' -timeout 5
You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression
If the operation takes longer than the supplied timeout, a timeout error will be returned
PS> get-runtimeerror -src 'start-sleep 6' -timeout 2
get-runtimeerror : Operation Timed Out ('start-sleep 6')
At line:1 char:1
+ get-runtimeerror -src 'start-sleep 6' -timeout 2
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Get-RuntimeError
* Modify native linux command tests to skip on Windows and pending on Mac
* remove verbose and progress output from help tests
* Be sure that Feature Counter tests only run on Windows
Also, only call add-type in CounterTestHelperFunctions.ps1 if we're going to actually run the tests
* do not run any get-computerinfo tests on non-windows systems
* suppress progress output from PowerShell Get tests
* remove -quiet from API and CRON Builds
Travis watches output from the build to ensure that it hasn't hung
we need to find a balance between too much output and not enough output.
A run which has too much output is killed because it looks like an error loop
A run which has too little output is killed because it looks like a hang
* Remove commented line in Import-Counter.Tests.ps1
Remove extraneous extra line in PowerShellGet.Tests.ps1
* Change `-as "type"` to `-as [type]` in build.psm1
Alter timeout to 10 seconds to be improve chances of not timing out for runtime parser checks
improve logic for counter tests to also skip for IoT
* use the existing function of SkipCounterTests rather than duplicate the logic in import-counter.tests.ps1
Type completion would behave strangely when there were multiple aliases for a given type (currently only possible with type accelerators).
The fix is to only select the accelerator that matches what the user typed.
Closes#2295
* Refactor 'FindMatchingHandler' to get rid of recursion
Search state can be saved and used throughout the searching process without the recursion.
* Rank the exception types based on how specific they are
* Refactor code to find handler based on the rank of given handlers
There was a NullReferenceException after turning on constrained language mode
if creating a binding on a thread with no runspace.
The fix is to assume if there is no runspace that we are not in constrained language
mode, and also generate a binding restriction that assumes the same.
* Fixes#2534 by replacing expensive WMI query with Win32 API calls
* fix break on unix build
* added tests for #2535
* although test passed, fixing exception that shows up
* fixed Describe text
* addressing code review feedback
* addressing review feedback to comment on why sleep is needed
added check that test processes are created before we try to kill them
* fixed test to timeout and pending fix for #2561
1. Added parameterbinding test
