Description

Summary of the new feature

Use PSStandard to simplify PowerShell references and potentially reduce the amount of binaries to ship. Because 1 rule is not available for ps v3 and v4, it might only be possible to use it for the engine project for starters. We need to explore and take it from there.

What is the latest version of PSScriptAnalyzer at the point of writing

1.17.1

Research direction

Begin by locating the engine project and its existing PowerShell references, then verify what PSStandard 1.17.1 supports for PowerShell 3 and 4. Done means a decided scope for adoption, including whether an engine-only start is viable and its binary impact; the issue names no files or tests.
