Description

Currently, all modules are assumed to come from a single repository on Install. I would like to be able to define a repository name for any module objects listed in the RequiredModules array of the manifest so PowerShellGet knows where to find them when they are hosted in different places.

Relates to #163 .

Research direction

Start by tracing how Install processes the manifest's RequiredModules array and how module repositories are selected. Review related issue #163 for context. Done means module entries can specify repository names and Install resolves modules from their respective repositories.
