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.
Moved check if able to write to $PSHome as way to skip test to `BeforeAll` which already contained a check if running on Windows.
## PR Context
As part https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/9279, tests were updated to be skipped if the test requires writing to `$PSHome` but is not able to. However, these tests already had a skip mechanism in place so the additional check caused the test to run when it should have skipped.

Fixes#7557
* Adds support for binary parsing in format echoing hex: `0b11010110`
* Works with all existing type suffixes and multipliers.
* Supports arbitrary length parsing with `n` suffix using BigInteger; details below.
* Adds `NumberFormat` enum to specify hex/binary/base 10 for the tokenizer, replacing old `bool hex`.
* Adds `n` suffix for all numeric literals to support returning value as a `BigInteger` if requested. This bypasses the issue of large literals losing accuracy when they cast through `double`.
* Adds tests for all new behaviours.
---
### Binary / Hex Parsing Implementation
* Mimics old sign bit behaviour for int and long types. Sign bits accepted for 8 or 16-bit Hex parsing, and 8, 16, 32, 64 for binary.
* i.e., `0xFFFFFFFF -eq ([int]-1)` and `0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF -eq ([long]-1)`, but suffixing `u` creates `int.MaxValue` and `long.MaxValue`, respectively, instead.
* Sign bits higher than this are accepted for bigint-suffixed numerals:
* Hex: Bigint-suffixed hex treats the high bit of any literal with a length multiple of 8 as the sign bit
* Binary: Bigint-suffixed binary accepts sign bits at 96 and 128 chars, and from there on every 8 characters.
* Prefixing the literal with a 0 will bypass this and be treated as unsigned, e.g. `0b011111111`
* Specifying an `u`nsigned suffix (or combination suffix that includes `u`) ignores sign bits, similar to how parsing a hex string using `[Convert]::ToUint32()` would do so.
* Supports negating literals using `-` prefix. This can result in positive numbers due to sign bits being permitted, just like hex literals.

### Refactored numeric tokenizer parsing
**New flow:**
1. Check for `real` (`.01`, `0.0`, or `0e0` syntaxes)
1. If the decimal suffix is present, TryParse directly into decimal. If the TryParse fails, TryGetNumberValue returns `false`.
2. TryParse as `Double`, and apply multiplier to value. If the TryParse fails, TryGetNumberValue returns `false`.
1. Check type suffixes and attempt to cast into appropriate type. This will return `false` if the value exceeds the specified type's bounds.
2. Default to parsing as `double` where no suffix has been applied.
2. Check number format.
* If binary, manually parse into BigInteger using optimized helper function to directly construct the BigInteger bytes from the string.
* If hex, TryParse into `BigInteger` using some special casing to retain original behaviours in int/long ranges.
* If neither binary nor hex, TryParse normally as a `BigInteger`.
3. Apply multiplier value before attempting any casts to ensure type bounds can be appropriately checked without overflows.
4. Check type suffixes.
* If a specific type suffix is used, check type bounds and attempt to parse into that type.
* If the value exceeds the type's available values, the parse fails. Otherwise, a straight cast is performed.
5. If no suffix is used, the following types are bounds-checked, in order, resulting in the first successful test determining the type of the number.
* `int`
* `long`
* `decimal` (base-10 literals only)
* `double` (base-10 literals only)
* ~~`BigInteger` for binary or hex literals.~~ If the value is outside `long` range (for hex and binary) or `double` range (for base 10), the parse will fail; higher values must be explicitly requested using the `n`/`N` BigInteger suffix.

*This is a breaking change* as binary literals are now read as numbers instead of generic tokens which could potentially have been used as function / cmdlet names or file names.
Notes:
* Binary literal support was approved by the committee in #7557
* ~~The same issue is still under further discussion for underscore support in numeric literals and whether BigInteger parsing ought to be exposed to the user at all.~~
* ~~Supporting underscore literals is a further breaking change causing some generic tokens like `1_000_000` to be read as numerals instead.~~ Per @SteveL-MSFT's [comment](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/7993#issuecomment-442651543) this proposal was rejected.
* ~~Removing underscore support or preventing standard parsing from accepting BigInteger ranges is a relatively trivial matter. It is my personal opinion that there is no particular reason *not* to hand the user a BigInteger when they enter a sufficiently large literal, but I will defer to the PowerShell Committee's judgement on this.~~
The windows-daily build had a bug which caused the packaging builds to be kicked off before tests. This PR fixes the build order.
## PR Context
Fix for failing daily build.
Add two properties in `ProviderInfo` class: `ItemSeparator` and `AltItemSeparator`.
On windows, the default values for those two properties are `ItemSeparator = '\'` and `AltItemSeparator = '/'`.
On unix, the default values for those two properties are `ItemSeparator = '/'` and `AltItemSeparator = '\'`.
Registry provider is the only exception, both properties for it have the value `\`.
VSTS produces a warning if the result set is 0, we will skip uploading this to avoid the warning and better support automation scenarios.
## PR Context
We have automation which checks our test results and if the result set is 0 for that file, a warning is produced. This PR will avoid uploading that file into the test results (which is valid, as there are no run tests). We will still add the file to our artifact list for completeness.
Adds warning messages to the Enable-PSRemoting and Disable-PSRemoting cmdlets that informs the user that the cmdlets only affect PSCore6 remoting endpoint configurations and not Windows PowerShell configurations.
PR Context
As documented, Enable-PSRemoting and Disable-PSRemoting affects all PowerShell remoting on a Windows system, and Windows users will likely expect the cmdlets to continue working this way in PSCore6. However, these cmdlets currently affect only PSCore6 remoting endpoints when run in PSCore6 and have no effect on Windows remoting endpoints.
Make the Linux CI build once and then run the tests on 4 different machines, by tag.
