- Reusing the same 2-dimensional integer array for processing line comments in the same Tokenizer.
- Use ArrayPool<int> in PatternPositionVisitor to avoid creating transient int[].
- Use IndexOf(char) overload instead of IndexOf(string) to benefit from Ordinal search
- Replace IndexOf with Contains to get more understandable code
- Use StringComparison.Ordinal for ASCII chars
Expands line continuance for pipelines to allow lines to continue automatically without backticks with the pipe symbol at the start of a line.
This adds to the existing functionality where pipes can be used to continue lines by placing them at the end of a line.
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.~~
By not doing excessive amounts of extra work, formatting can be sped up quite significantly (about 8x faster).
The main change comes from adding new, more efficient, primitive to query an object for the existence of an instance member.
The formatting system has been checking for if an object has properties other than some decorated properties added by PS remoting, and it doesn't this by retrieving all properties which results in heavy allocations and wasted cycles.
By adding `GetFirstOrDefault` to `PSObject` and similar primitives to the underlying Adapters, we are able to return early, without having to get all properties back.
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
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.

`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.
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
}
```
Ubuntu18.04 seems to default to C.UTF-8 for LANG (representing InvariantCulture) which results in a case-sensitive hashtable since CurrentCultureIgnoreCase doesn't work for that culture. Fix is to use OrdinalIgnoreCase instead.
