This exception is no longer used by PowerShell, so it has been removed.
It is a public api, so removing it risks breaking somebody. Nobody has any reason
to catch or throw this exception, so it seems safe to remove, but I decided to
be conservative and keep it for Windows PowerShell. It seems safe enough to remove
in Nano.
Change details:
- Add metadata to the PowerShellGet.psd1
- Fixed special chars in PSGet.Resource.psd1
- Catalog signing verification changes from Windows Source Depot

* Address comments about New-PSOptions
* Update Start-PSPackage to not show the warning from New-PSOptions
* correct links in test-guidelines.md (issue #1665)
added specific links for PesterDoAndDont and WritingPesterTests
added new section in WritingPesterTests.md on bulk skipping tests

CategoryInfo.Activity of Write-Error does not honor the value for
'activity' but uses the hard-coded string 'write-error'. The change sets
the value if specified by Write-Error cmdlet or set 'write-error'.
MaximumErrorCount is fixed at 256 (we may want to consider an environment variable to make this bigger)
MaximumAliasCount, MaximumDriveCount, MaximumFunctionCount, and MaximumVariableCount have been removed.
This is a workaround for a full clr issue that causes a hang when calling PowerShell from ruby.
They use named pipes instead of anonymous pipes, and for some reason that triggers the hang.
Since the Travis CI OS X infrastructure is incredibly unstable,
we need to let the builds run on a best effort basis,
but not report failure and not hang a result until its finished.
With this setup, the Linux build dictates the success,
completely ignoring OS X.
PowerShell can be started with input redirected in different scenarios.
`powershell -Command -` is one scenario where commands are sent to
PowerShell, but this is not a interactive shell scenario, it's really
a server to run commands from some other process.
`powershell -File -` or just regular redirected input means PowerShell
is an interactive shell, but command line editing must be done via
the redirected standard input handle instead of interacting directly
with a console handle.
In this scenario, we want to provide a good editing experience. Today,
we provide the bare minimum, supporting backspace but no cursor movement.
The bug here is that backspace was treated as a backspace in the server mode
but should not have been.
Again, .NET Core expects users to forcibly link the third party OpenSSL
libraries into system directories, which the Homebrew team advises
strongly against (and attempts to prevent). This also affects the
System.Net.Http library, and results in runtime errors during SSL
certificate validation. So instead, we patch what we can, when we can.
Use `dpkg -i` followed by `apt-get install -f`. Alternatives considered
included using `apt install`, which does not work, and copying the
PowerShell package to `/var/cache/apt/archives` which is just as messy
as this. At least this follows the same steps as `download.sh`.
