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.
These types are not used in PowerShell code base and should be removed.
## PR Context
The dotnet 3.0.100-preview3-010406 version added overloads to `string.get_Chars` and hence we cannot resolved which overload to load. Thus, we get an type load exception.
Since we are no using this type, it is better to remove it.

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.
`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
Remoting relies on Windows native crypto APIs to pass a secure string. Of course these APIs don't work on non-Windows. However, the remoting code does not expect this to fail so ends up in a hang waiting for an event that never happens.
Have not figured out how to return an error to the user in the case `Get-Credential` is called within a PSSession. Currently it just quietly closes the remote connection. @PaulHigin can you give a pointer to where this code would exist? Debugging the current code, it has a bunch of error handlers which just result in the pssession being closed and not sure where throwing is appropriate.

Fix is to provide implementations of the Win32 native pinvoke apis that throw an exception. The reason to do it this way is that there's a bunch of code that calls some of the APIs of the wrapper .Net class to setup structures that eventually get passed to the win32 api. Throwing in the managed class causes other things to fail early that should work on non-Windows.
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.
Major changes are:
- Make all commands return 'ConfirmImpact.None' if `SupportsShouldProcess` is not set to `true`.
- Update some cmdlets to explicitly use `ConfirmImpact.Low`.
- Update `DefaultCommands.Tests.ps1` to test for 'ConfirmImpact' level.
* Improve check for developer mode by checking minimum required build number
The test would fail if the developer mode is enabled but the machine has an older build than the minimum required build.
The change adds a check for the build version in the test.
* Update test/powershell/Modules/Microsoft.PowerShell.Management/New-Item.Tests.ps1
Fix#8028
This change adds support for specifying the underlying type for an enum:
```powershell
enum MyEnum : long
{
A = 0x0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
B
}
# or
enum MyByte : byte
{
A = 0x01
B = 0x02
C = 0x03
D
}
```
