Research direction

Start by reproducing dsc resource list *OSInfo* on the latest version and verify whether Microsoft/OSInfo is installed and discoverable. The issue names no source file or test, so trace the resource-listing and resource-discovery entry points before identifying the relevant test coverage. Done means the command lists the Microsoft/OSInfo resource as expected.
