Implement schema option for PsDscAdapter

[Gijsreyn]

PR Summary

This pull request adresses partially the option to call dsc resource schema -r <resourceName> for PowerShell adapters. If I'm not wrong, there is also an overarching issue but I couldn't find it. Pardon me on it.

There are other questions popping up with this pull request:

• How to define properties with types and description (proposal at 508)?
• Should definition metadata be included?
• How does the engine handle adapter resources to call schema executable through resource manifest?

Please add some tests

@SteveL-MSFT I added one test now with a hardcoded resource manifest. I'm struggling to find out the logic how dsc.exe handles adapter resources types. For now to not break the tests, i have hardcoded the type.

Do you mind helping me out and point me in the right direction? I would have expected the engine to call the dsc schema command on adapter resources directly.

@Gijsreyn to confirm this enhancement works for both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell adapters correct?

It's been a while, but yes, I have explicitly added it to the powershell.resource.ps1.

@Gijsreyn can you resolve the merge conflict?

[Gijsreyn]

@SteveL-MSFT The merge conflicts are resolved. I have hardcoded a resource manifest now to let the test pass, but I still need help with the earlier question. Can you guide me in the right direction, or can we pull it in for now?

For adapters, dsc engine simply expects the adapter to handle schema validation and reject (as in error) if it doesn't match. However, this design pre-dates the current work in Bicep and we now have a need to get JSONSchema for all resources (adapted or otherwise) so that intellisense can work. I created #872 to discuss.

For now, I think we should hold this PR until we resolve how it should work for any type of adapter.
