In order to support PowerShell core we need to be able to dynamically search for the pwsh binary.

However it could also be installed anywhere manually

This ticket will track the work make sure the path can be discovered dynamically in the default locations, but also from the path

e.g.

exec { 'do something':

   command  => 'Write-Host $PSVersionTable',

    path     => 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.1',

   provider => pwsh,

   require  => File['testfile'],

This will also include some acceptance or unit tests for this behaviour. This should also be supported cross platform
