Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
It may be useful to have a zip package format that defines how to have a self-contained configuration and resources making it easier to deploy configuration without installing resources onto each node.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
The zip would contain its own manifest defining the root configuration file (as it may include other configs). Resources would be, by default, constrained to those found in the zip and also ones included with DSC (within the DSC home folder). Optionally, DSC_RESOURCE_PATH can be defined within the manifest. Also have a way to catalog sign the package that is cross-platform compatible which would include hashes of the configs and resources.

Research direction
Start by reviewing DSC's existing configuration, resource resolution, packaging, and signing entry points; the issue names no files or tests. Establish the manifest and cross-platform package requirements, including the root configuration, allowed resource locations, optional DSC_RESOURCE_PATH, and hashes. Done means the requirements and acceptance checks for a self-contained deployable package are agreed.
