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.~~
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 `\`.
On Unix systems, fallback to plaintext manipulation instead of using the DPAPI which is not available.
## PR Context
Currently, existing scripts that use SecureString cmdlets fail with an error complaining about crypt32.dll not being available. This change allows these cmdlets to be used, but there is no encryption of the string.
.Net already [states](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.securestring?view=netcore-2.1#remarks) that the contents of a SecureString are not encrypted on .Net Core.

Improve type inference for foreach statement variables by:
Inferring strongly typed arrays from explicit array and array literal expressions when elements are of the same inferred type
Fix detection of foreach variable declaration. The previous logic was to check if the variable expression's start offset was after the end offset of the foreach statement, which will never be true in the body
Improve inference of what type the "Condition" of a foreach statement will enumerate as
Update the task-based async APIs added to PowerShell to not use the `aysnc/await` keywords, but to return a `Task` object directly.
There is nothing to continue on after the `Task.Factory.FromAsync` call in those methods, so there is not need to use `aysnc` and `await` keywords, which turns the method into a state machine class unnecessarily.
Here are the major changes:
- Add logic to skip checking for possible resource directories for the first set of sub directories from the top level.
- There was an additional skip if the folder is hidden, rather than doing an explicit attribute check, change the `EnumerationOption` to skip hidden folders.
- Since the `IsPossibleModuleDirectory()` helper now only checks to see if the name matches a culture, renamed to `IsPossibleResourceDirectory()`
- When getting the default modules, we don't search recursively into individual module folders, so removed additional check for possible resource directory.
Adds an optional -Depth parameter to the cmdlet which lets the user to specify a maximum depth allowed for deserialization, which will overwrite the default maximum of 1024.
`TypeBuilder.GetInterfaces()` returns only the interfaces that was explicitly passed to its constructor, so we need to flatten the interface hierarchy in order to properly support inherited interfaces.
This removes some of the last mentions of the AppVeyor name. Don't change the title, we don't want the word to appear in the CLs
Also problem: the last references are in the changelogs but I don't want to modify them without committee approval.

it was removed, #8686
Fix for #6741 Allow .exe files to be used as binary modules. Basically anywhere a .dll could be used with modules, you can now use a .exe file. Also did a little clean up, replacing constant strings with the StringLiteral values instead.
