Migrate away from MEF for loading DLLs in Windows PowerShell

PSScriptAnalyzer's .NET Framework builds depend on a lesser known technology called the Managed Extensibility Framework (namespaced to System.ComponentModel.Composition) to do a kind of lazy loading of assemblies for rules, presumably for custom rule sets.

This seems to be a kind of inversion of control framework, although we use it in a less typical way than a web server might:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer/blob/cfeb7d5f510763ba33a9a4ec73259d7d6ea86fdb/Engine/ScriptAnalyzer.cs#L930-L969

It also means that for rules to be discoverable they need to be decorated with attributes like here:
https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer/blob/cfeb7d5f510763ba33a9a4ec73259d7d6ea86fdb/Rules/AvoidGlobalFunctions.cs#L18-L20

All of that is fine, and it may be that PSScriptAnalyzer users are having success with it, but I'm not really sure if anyone is using it.

There are two problems:

• We aren't using (and don't seem to need) MEF in PowerShell Core (it apparently has been ported, but it's not clear to what extent).
• MEF loads assemblies differently to PowerShell

This problem raised itself in https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer/pull/1133, where a rule that depended on an external assembly, which in turn depended on a third assembly failed to load only in .NET Framework (and behaved differently across PowerShell versions).

The error looked like this:

System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

At some point, the compatibility rule would depend on Microsoft.PowerShell.CrossCompatibility.dll, which in turn depended on Newtonsoft.Json.dll.

The first load would succeed, but the second would fail because it would only look for Newtonsoft.Json.dll in the directory of powershell.exe rather than in the same directory as Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ScriptAnalyzer.BuiltinRules.dll.

This was resolved by adding Add-Type $newtonsoftDllPath to ScriptAnalyzer.psm1.

This may not actually be due to MEF, but is worth investigating in any case. The DLL loading differences between Windows PS and PS Core are here:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer/blob/cfeb7d5f510763ba33a9a4ec73259d7d6ea86fdb/Engine/ScriptAnalyzer.cs#L930-L969

Inizia dai percorsi di caricamento delle DLL in Engine/ScriptAnalyzer.cs intorno alle righe 930-969, quindi leggi ScriptAnalyzer.psm1 e i metadati della regola in Rules/AvoidGlobalFunctions.cs. Confronta il comportamento di Windows PowerShell e PowerShell Core descritto nell’issue con l’errore della pull request 1133; il lavoro è completato quando esiste una sostituzione documentata e testata oppure una risoluzione chiara riguardo alla rimozione di MEF.
