Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
As a user, I want the ability to specify a URI to a configuration document. This removes the step to pull down the configuration document file and allows me to directly point towards it as such:
dsc config get --file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/DSC/refs/heads/main/dsc/examples/assertion.dsc.yaml
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Research direction
Start at the dsc config get command and trace how its --file argument currently handles configuration documents. Use the provided GitHub URI example as the acceptance case; done means the command can read a configuration document directly from that URI without requiring a local copy.
