In CI, notepad.exe isn't starting (or starting in time) when using start-process with .txt based on file association.
Since the test is validating opening files by association, fix is to create our own association that is predictable.
On CoreFx, UseShellExecute for Process start is false by default to be cross platform compatible.
In the case of a folder, Process.Start() returns Access Denied as it's not an executable.
On Windows, we can use the ShellExecute path to have explorer open the folder. On Unix, we use `xdg-open` and `open` for Linux and macOS respectively.
- Fix invalid value error message on some properties of ParameterAttribute to point to the specific properties.
- Avoid wrapping argument exception into not a useful 'requires' exception.
There are following major changes:
- `Start-PSBootstrap -BuildWindowsNative` installs the native dependencies required for building PSRP binary. Without `-BuildWindowsNative`, it only installs the dotnet-SDK on Windows platform.
- `Start-PSBuild` doesn't build Windows PSRP binary. Instead, `Start-BuildNativeWindowsBinaries` is added to build it. After the build, 3 files (`'pwrshplugin.dll'`, `'pwrshplugin.pdb'`, `'Install-PowerShellRemoting.ps1'`) will be bin-placed at `src\powershell-win-core` like before.
- The NuGet package `'psrp.windows'` is added to `powershell-core` feed, and we reference it in `powershell-win-core.csproj` to get the Windows PSRP related files. Files (.dll and .pdb) in the package are from the beta.4 release build.
This change fixes 3 issues:
- According to [PowerShell Language Specification Version 3.0](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36389), as quoted: "_The result is the (possibly empty) unconstrained 1-dimensional array_", `@(...)` should only return `object[]` array.
- `@([object[]]$null).GetType()` fails with error `"You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression."`
- `@([System.Collections.Generic.List[object]]$null)` fails with error `"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."`
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'ForEach-Object' (alias is '%' or 'foreach')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'Where-Object' (alias is '?' or 'where')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'Select-Object' (alias is 'select')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSPossibleIncorrectComparisonWithNull. Essentially, $null has to be on the left-hand side when using it for comparison.
- A Test in ParameterBinding.Tests.ps1 needed adapting as this test used to rely on the wrong null comparison
- Replace a subset of tests of kind '($object -eq $null) | Should Be $true' with '$object | Should Be $null'

OSX Install script updated to use repositories
Using TR, use curl rather than wget since we ensured it is on the system

* updated webcmdlets CI tests to not depend on external website

* fix possible infinite loop waiting for listener to start
Added a checkbox (unchecked by default) to the last dialogue of the Windows installer to provide the option of opening PowerShell because that's what most people want to do if they installed PowerShell.
Summary
----------
When the same script file gets executed in multiple Runspaces, the RuntimeType generated from the powershell class defined in the file will be shared among those Runspaces. For different Runspaces, different SessionState should be used to run the static methods.
Fix
---
We use the `SessionStateKeeper` to query for the correct `SessionState` to use for a static method call.
We already use `SessionStateKeeper` to track the `Runspace/SessionState` where a PowerShell class is defined, and thus we can leverage this for the static method invocation.
* Add -SkipHeaderValidation switch to Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod to support adding headers without validating the header value.
* Fix whitespace
Currently `ValidateSetAttribute` accepts only explicit constants as valid values. This is a significant limitation. Sometimes we need to get valid values dynamically, ex., Azure VMs, logged-on users and so on. The PR add follow possibilities:
- pass a _custom type_ (a valid values generator) implementing `IValidateSetValuesGenerator` interface to get valid values dynamically.
- pass a _custom type_ (a valid values generator) derived from `CachedValidValuesGeneratorBase` abstract class to get valid values dynamically and _cache_ the list to share with other ValidateSetAttribute attributes.
