This breaks rendering of images for Windows 7 and Server 2008R2,
but it's required for accessibility purposes so that the High
Contrast Black theme renders text correctly for accessibility.
(Unfortunately, BMP does not support transparency.)
Add support in packaging.psm1 to produce a .msix AppX package. Update the docker image to use the new msix package type. Update the associated yml files so AzDevOps performs the build.

Fixes#8919
Preserve user shortcuts pinned to Taskbar during MSI upgrade by not removing shortcuts in this case (assuming the user has not changed the installation directory), see https://stackoverflow.com/a/33402698/1810304
This also requires the Guid to not always be re-generated, which PR #7701 originally added to ensure shortcuts get removed when RTM and preview are installed, the underlying problem was rather that RTM and preview shared the same GUIDs, therefore the GUIDs are hard-coded again but different for RTM and preview, therefore the shortcuts will still always get removed on uninstall. But this also means those GUIDs should change when the default installation directory changes, i.e. in PowerShell 7. Should we write the code to already take this into account that it does not get forgotten?
Tested by first reproducing the issue by building installers locally (and bumping the patch version. Then the fix was applied to verify the solution, it. For this to take effect the version from which an MSI is being upgraded must have this fix already, i.e. if this fix got shipped in `6.2.1`, then on upgrading to it, the issue would still occur but when upgrading `6.2.1` to `6.2.2` the shortcut would start being preserved. I am wondering if we could maybe improve this to show effect earlier by trying to extract the used (auto-generated) GUIDs in the `6.2.0` and `6.2.0-rc` packages out and use them...
Please not that we probably need to take this out for `7.0` because the base installation directory will change. This also assumes that the user has not specified a different installation directory on upgrade but this is a bit of an edge case where I think other things might break as well.

## PR Context
Because `PowerShellGet` does not support publishing/saving module on a per platform basis (see [this](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGet/issues/273) issue), PowerShell currently also ships the fullclr binaries of `PackageManagement`, which it does not need. Therefore removing it to minimise the package size, this saves 1.19 MB.
Major changes are as follows:
- Avoid `SecuritySupport.IsProductBinary` and unnecessary AMSI/suspicious code scan at startup time
- Update `CompiledScriptBlockData.IsProductCode` to avoid unnecessary calls to `IsProductBinary`, which attempts to retrieve catalog signature of the target file.
- Update `PerformSecurityChecks` to skip AMSI and suspicious code scan for the `.psd1` file that contains a safe `HashtableAst` only.
- Use customized `ReadOnlyBag` instead of `ImmutableHashSet` so that we can avoid loading the `System.Collections.Immutable.dll` completely.
- Replace `SHA1` with `CRC32` when generating module analysis cache file name
- This remove the loading of `System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.dll` at startup
- Move `ConvertFrom-SddlString` to C# to remove the `Utility.psm1` file.
- Crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation
- Even pwsh with crossgen assemblies spends a lot time in jitting at the startup, about `191.6ms` comparing with `24.7ms` for Windows PowerShell.
- Jitting `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` takes about `51.6ms`.
- By crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation, the jitting time drops to about `98.9ms`.
Since we don't explicitly set the window title, it just shows the path to `pwsh.exe`. Fix is to use the `-Command` parameter to set the window title.
Fix#8163
Guidance is that we can just have the major version at the top "PowerShell 6" and not worry about updating the minor version with each release. The change is on line 230. Word made the other changes to the RTF.
The variable was set to empty (meaning to delete the variable) in the non-preview case and the build fails.
The fix avoids setting the variable to empty
Fixes underlying problem of #3341. Related: #2881
When multiple versions (e.g. RTM and preview) of PowerShell are installed via the MSI and one is being uninstalled, then the start menu shortcut does not get removed due to the shortcut component being not unique per version. This also applies to an upgrade scenario. Therefore use an auto-generated Guid (`*`)
Remove code from build.psm1 that save the modules to a versioned folder. For servicing reasons after release it is preferred and easier to not have the versioned folder so that we can directly replace modules that need to be serviced (MSI specifically makes it difficult to service a module if the folder path changes).
- `ConvertFrom-Markdown` is used for converting a markdown document or string to a MarkdownInfo object. It can optionally return an HTML or a VT100 encoded string in addition to an AST of the markdown document.
- `Show-Markdown` is used to either display the VT100 encoded string on the console or redirect the HTML string to the browser.
- `Set/Get-MarkdownOption` cmdlets are used to view or set markdown rendering options.
