This breaks rendering of images for Windows 7 and Server 2008R2,
but it's required for accessibility purposes so that the High
Contrast Black theme renders text correctly for accessibility.
(Unfortunately, BMP does not support transparency.)
Add support in packaging.psm1 to produce a .msix AppX package. Update the docker image to use the new msix package type. Update the associated yml files so AzDevOps performs the build.

Because `PowerShellGet` does not support publishing/saving module on a per platform basis (see [this](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGet/issues/273) issue), PowerShell currently also ships the fullclr binaries of `PackageManagement`, which it does not need. Therefore removing it to minimise the package size, this saves 1.19 MB.
Major changes are as follows:
- Avoid `SecuritySupport.IsProductBinary` and unnecessary AMSI/suspicious code scan at startup time
- Update `CompiledScriptBlockData.IsProductCode` to avoid unnecessary calls to `IsProductBinary`, which attempts to retrieve catalog signature of the target file.
- Update `PerformSecurityChecks` to skip AMSI and suspicious code scan for the `.psd1` file that contains a safe `HashtableAst` only.
- Use customized `ReadOnlyBag` instead of `ImmutableHashSet` so that we can avoid loading the `System.Collections.Immutable.dll` completely.
- Replace `SHA1` with `CRC32` when generating module analysis cache file name
- This remove the loading of `System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.dll` at startup
- Move `ConvertFrom-SddlString` to C# to remove the `Utility.psm1` file.
- Crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation
- Even pwsh with crossgen assemblies spends a lot time in jitting at the startup, about `191.6ms` comparing with `24.7ms` for Windows PowerShell.
- Jitting `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` takes about `51.6ms`.
- By crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation, the jitting time drops to about `98.9ms`.
Since we don't explicitly set the window title, it just shows the path to `pwsh.exe`. Fix is to use the `-Command` parameter to set the window title.
Fix#8163
Guidance is that we can just have the major version at the top "PowerShell 6" and not worry about updating the minor version with each release. The change is on line 230. Word made the other changes to the RTF.
The variable was set to empty (meaning to delete the variable) in the non-preview case and the build fails.
The fix avoids setting the variable to empty
Fixes underlying problem of #3341. Related: #2881
When multiple versions (e.g. RTM and preview) of PowerShell are installed via the MSI and one is being uninstalled, then the start menu shortcut does not get removed due to the shortcut component being not unique per version. This also applies to an upgrade scenario. Therefore use an auto-generated Guid (`*`)
Remove code from build.psm1 that save the modules to a versioned folder. For servicing reasons after release it is preferred and easier to not have the versioned folder so that we can directly replace modules that need to be serviced (MSI specifically makes it difficult to service a module if the folder path changes).
- `ConvertFrom-Markdown` is used for converting a markdown document or string to a MarkdownInfo object. It can optionally return an HTML or a VT100 encoded string in addition to an AST of the markdown document.
- `Show-Markdown` is used to either display the VT100 encoded string on the console or redirect the HTML string to the browser.
- `Set/Get-MarkdownOption` cmdlets are used to view or set markdown rendering options.
