Description

This is a feature request to add dynamic Thread reduction when `EndInvoke` function causes any kind of exception. Otherwise, exit early with a message to recommend for the -Threads parameter to be used.

Specifically this error that I ran into because the default 500 threads is too high for my virtual lab:
```
Exception calling "EndInvoke" with "1" argument(s): "Thread failed to start."
At C:\temp\IPv4PortScan.ps1:260 char:13
+ $Job_Result = $Job.Pipe.EndInvoke($Job.Result)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ThreadStartException

Exception calling "EndInvoke" with "1" argument(s): "Thread is running or terminated; it cannot restart."
```
