Major changes are:
- Rename `s_wasSystemPolicyDebugPolicy` to `s_allowDebugOverridePolicy` to make it less confusing. Also slightly refactor `HelperSecurity.psm1` and `ConstrainedLanguageDebugger.Tests.ps1` to remove unneeded code. There is no functional change in this commit.
- Remove the unneeded static property `IsInbox`, as PowerShell Core won't be shipped in-box with Windows in the foreseeable feature. Even if we do in future, we won't be needing it because Windows PowerShell will probably be gone by that time.
- Update 'BindRunspace' to avoid getting all commands and unneeded method calls.
- Avoid creating a `IsSafeValueVisitor` every time when `IsScriptBlockInFactASafeHashtable` runs.
- Use File.GetAttributes() instead of p/invokes to check for existence of FileSystem items. The method throws access exceptions which we use for better error messages.
- Remove the word 'Native' from method names.
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
Updated module manifests for consistency to have Author = "PowerShell" and Company = "Microsoft Corporation". Removed multiple line breaks.

Rather than relying on case-insensitive string compares of source and destination paths, use operating system calls to determine whether two paths refer to the same file. This solves not only the case-insensitivity issue but also allows the cmdlet to operate properly if the destination is a hard or symbolic link to the source.
The Windows side is implemented in C#. The Unix side is implemented partially in native code.
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.
There are cases like using PowerShell via Puppet where the account being
used does not have a home directory. Updated PowerShell to use a process
specific temporary directory if HOME, CONFIG, CACHE, and DATA directories
are not available. Temporary directory is removed when last runspace
is disposed.
XDG profile directory creation can fail for accounts that do not have home directories.
The module analysis was trying to persist it's cache in an XDG profile directory.
The cache is less critical than it once was, so it's reasonable to not cache if there is no good place to do so.
Fixes#3011
