PowerShell code formatting doesn't work as expected in VSCode

Before submitting a bug report:

• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Perform a quick search for existing issues to check if this bug has already been reported

Steps to reproduce

I am using Visual Studio code to create PowerShell scripts and have "Format on Save" enabled. Sometimes I noticed that VSCode has issues with formatting braces correctly.

In the following file you can see an example:
https://github.com/dsccommunity/SharePointDsc/blob/1b7c1e10cd575c0e33e5268f49738d32a32e9078/SharePointDsc/DSCResources/MSFT_SPSearchTopology/MSFT_SPSearchTopology.psm1#L475-L491

The opening brace of the If statement on line 476 is no aligning with closing brace on line 483. The same is true for the opening brace of the Else statement on line 485 and the closing brace on line 491.

My suspicion is that this has something to do with the code and braces in the code in these statements.

When I have this repo cloned locally, update the braces and then save, VSCode automatically reverts back to the current formatting. According to Tyler Leonhardt PSScriptAnalyzer is handling the formatting for VSCode, that is why I am raising the issue here.

Expected behavior

Both braces are placed on the same position in the line.

Actual behavior

The closing brace is moved two characters to the right, causing them to be misaligned.

Reproduce the issue in VSCode with Format on Save using the linked SharePointDsc/MSFT_SPSearchTopology/MSFT_SPSearchTopology.psm1 example and PSScriptAnalyzer 1.19.1. Trace the formatter’s handling of the if/else braces, add a regression test for the expected alignment, and verify that closing braces are no longer shifted two characters right.
