- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'ForEach-Object' (alias is '%' or 'foreach')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'Where-Object' (alias is '?' or 'where')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'Select-Object' (alias is 'select')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSPossibleIncorrectComparisonWithNull. Essentially, $null has to be on the left-hand side when using it for comparison.
- A Test in ParameterBinding.Tests.ps1 needed adapting as this test used to rely on the wrong null comparison
- Replace a subset of tests of kind '($object -eq $null) | Should Be $true' with '$object | Should Be $null'

Added a checkbox (unchecked by default) to the last dialogue of the Windows installer to provide the option of opening PowerShell because that's what most people want to do if they installed PowerShell.
Summary
----------
When the same script file gets executed in multiple Runspaces, the RuntimeType generated from the powershell class defined in the file will be shared among those Runspaces. For different Runspaces, different SessionState should be used to run the static methods.
Fix
---
We use the `SessionStateKeeper` to query for the correct `SessionState` to use for a static method call.
We already use `SessionStateKeeper` to track the `Runspace/SessionState` where a PowerShell class is defined, and thus we can leverage this for the static method invocation.
* Add -SkipHeaderValidation switch to Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod to support adding headers without validating the header value.
* Fix whitespace
Currently `ValidateSetAttribute` accepts only explicit constants as valid values. This is a significant limitation. Sometimes we need to get valid values dynamically, ex., Azure VMs, logged-on users and so on. The PR add follow possibilities:
- pass a _custom type_ (a valid values generator) implementing `IValidateSetValuesGenerator` interface to get valid values dynamically.
- pass a _custom type_ (a valid values generator) derived from `CachedValidValuesGeneratorBase` abstract class to get valid values dynamically and _cache_ the list to share with other ValidateSetAttribute attributes.

There are two fixes in psl-pester:
1. Add Context information to the Pester log which will reduce the name collisions with test names
2. Update test teardown so exceptions thrown in `AfterAll` will not leave pester in a bad state.
When this happens, Pester fails all subsequent tests with the error 'Already in Describe'.
