Description
Ever since the "syntax based" code folding was introduced
The documentation sections won't fold the way they used to:
Because the whole comment block is one big blob:
Can we add support for the comment-based help documentation keywords to fold the help below them?
P.S. When I turn that setting off, it completely kills folding for PowerShell files until I kill the integrated terminal.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Reproduce the regression with syntax-based folding enabled, compare it with the setting disabled, and inspect the extension's folding support for PowerShell comment-based help keywords; done means help sections fold individually without disabling folding for the rest of the file.
