This unifies file encoding across the inbox cmdlets to be UTF-8 without a BOM for all platforms. This is a breaking change as cmdlets on windows have a number of different encodings. This supports better interoperability with tradition Linux shells as we are using the same encoding. Validate that files are created with UTF-8 encoding without BOM Update tests to validate Encoding parameter to new type and create new tests for parameter type validation. [Breaking Change] The '-Encoding Byte' has been removed from the filesystem provider cmdlets. A new parameter '-AsByteStream' is now added to indicate that a byte stream is required as input, or output will be a stream of bytes.
Testing
The tests are organized by testing language. Thus Pester tests, which are written in the PowerShell language, are in ./powershell and xUnit tests, written in C#, are in ./csharp. The sanity tests for the Full .NET build of PowerShell are in ./fullclr, and the third-party shebang test is in ./shebang.
