Description

Summary of the new feature

As a user, I want a single switch to elevate warnings to errors so that my repos can have error-less, warning-less code. In CI scenarios, like @justinGrote's Super-Duper-Linter I need the task to fail when there are only warnings.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

@rjmholt mentioned the -NoExit param but I'm not sure if that will exit on warnings as well...

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