Fix bug #5597: x86/x64 installer are uninstalling each other when installing either of them:
-Make x86 installer to be installed as an x86 component (-arch argument to candle.exe, which sets the `sys.BUILDARCH` variable)
-Make the UpgradeCode unique per platform
-Replace `var.ProductTargetArchitecture` variable with sys.BUILDARCH use to have only 1 variable for the architecture
-Additionally, the architecture was appended to the package name to be able to distinguish the installations.
# Conflicts:
# assets/Product.wxs
Make PowerShell Core reads group policy settings from different registry keys (Windows only) and the configuration files (both Windows and Unix).
- On Windows, move to different GPO registry keys.
- On both Windows and Unix, read GPO related settings from the configuration file `powershell.config.json`.
- On Windows, the policy settings in registry take precedence over the configuration file.
- Enable policy controlled logging and transcription on Unix.
Since Pester is not a submodule anymore, replace submodule example in git submodule docs/FAQ.md with the only leftover submodule src/libpsl-native/test/googletest
Issue #4029 exposed two problems when failing to load libpsrpclient.
WSManAPIDataCommon.ctor was not identifying the binary that failed DLLImport; hindering diagnosability
PrioritySendDataCollection.Clear() would throw a NullReferenceException when called from the finalizer after an error path.
This change addresses both of the above:
Guard against null arrays in PrioritySendDataCollection.Clear() - called from finalizer in error paths.
Diagnosability: Log the DllNotFoundException in WSManAPIDataCommon ctor and also include it as the internal exception when throwing PSRemotingTransportException.
Update Restore-PSPester to include PR PowerShell/psl-pester#12 that fixesPowerShell/psl-pester#11 - unhandled exceptions in before/after bypasses Pester's enddescribe logic.
Update to the latest, while we are at it.
Create the module 'releaseTools.psm1' under 'tools' folder, which expose the function 'Get-ChangeLog' to generate a release change log based on the local commit history.

refactor code to restore pester into a separate function called Restore-PSPester
update message on what to do when pester is missing
Add ability for get-psoptions to default to new-psoptions
fix an issue with publish-pstesttools when a build has not been run since build.psm1 has been imported (try to use the default options)
make start-pspester use the last build, not just use the default options
fix an issue in restore caused some files not to be removed
Note: changes in tools/appveyor.psm1 are not moved to the 6.0.0 branch because:
- the change is to produce win-arm32/win-arm64 zip packages in daily builds.
Since we don't have daily build for the 6.0.0 branch, the change is not needed.
- there are conflicts when cherry-picking the commits
The Linux release build was broken because AppImage,tar,tar-arm in build.json is turned into a string of "AppImage,tar,tar-arm" by docker run. Now it's changed to use switch parameters.
* enable win-arm and win-arm64 builds
* fix using arm64 tools for build
fix finding vs2017 dynamically
* change install-powershellremoting.ps1 script to use reg provider rather than reg.exe so that error doesn't show on success
fix formatting issue in cmake.defs
* add check that path being read from config file is valid
address PR feedback
* fix copying of PowerShell.Core.Instrumentation as VS2017 puts it in $HOME/source
address PR feedback
Create linux-arm tarball package in our release build.
Also moved the Linux-x64 tarball creation to Ubutntu 14.04, because Start-PSBuild adds additional symbolic link files when running on Red Hat Family distros.
Note that linux-arm can only be built on Ubuntu, so the tar-arm package will also be generated from the Ubuntu 14.04.
- Update contribution guidelines to make updating the changelog required
- add a checklist to PR template
Comment by @SteveL-MSFT :
> Everyone should understand that we are always open to feedback and nothing is set in stone. Based on a team discussion, one of the biggest costs for a release is creating the ChangeLog hence updating this document to push it to the contributor most aware of why the changes are being made and ideally how it's useful to end users.
