On Unix systems, fallback to plaintext manipulation instead of using the DPAPI which is not available. ## PR Context Currently, existing scripts that use SecureString cmdlets fail with an error complaining about crypt32.dll not being available. This change allows these cmdlets to be used, but there is no encryption of the string. .Net already [states](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.securestring?view=netcore-2.1#remarks) that the contents of a SecureString are not encrypted on .Net Core.
