This fixes issue #2607.
'RequiredModules' is a field in module manifest that can reference other modules using ModuleSpecification format.
The basic version of this format (just module name) was working fine, however, there was a problem when a more detailed version of the format was used (the one that uses module versions or/and GUIDs).
During module import, there is a check for cyclic references through 'RequiredModules' field. The bug was in this check for cyclic references, related to comparison rules for ModuleSpecification objects - as a result, the code was incorrectly reporting 'cyclic reference' error in cases when there was none.
Also, added tests for different ModuleSpecification formats and a test for error when there is actually a cyclic reference.
string. If the string was a uri with spaces, ToString() doesn't return the escaped version. The AbsoluteUri property
should be used instead which returns an escaped absolute uri (if valid).
Also renamed TestModuleManfest.ps1 to TestModuleManifest.Tests.ps1 so that it gets picked up correctly as Pester test.
Since HelpInfoUri is just a string, ensure it is a valid absolute uri and escaped correctly whereas before it was just
an opaque string that wasn't validated.

Changed hard coded Windows directory separator and resolved path so the slashes are correct.
Throw if resolving file path returns more than one result
