Description

### What You Are Seeing?
I tried to migrate from Cake 0.30.0 to Cake 0.35.0 and fixed all changes in my cake files.
When i try to compile it now with Cake 0.35.0, i got always this error "System.ArgumentNullException: Array cannot be null."

### What is Expected?
No errors and successful execution.

### What version of Cake are you using?
0.35.0

### Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?
Windows 10 64Bit (Version 10.0.16299.1451)

### What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?
Windows

### Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?
Localbuild to test cake scripts (no TFS connection possible)

### How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

So i tried this:
- open powershell command prompt
- used "Invoke-WebRequest https://cakebuild.net/download/bootstrapper/windows -OutFile build.ps1"
- write a cake file with little content:
```
Task("Default")
.Does(() =>
{
Information("Hello World!");
});

RunTarget("Default");
```
- Execution with batchfile:
`powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& '.\_Build.ps1' -Script '.\BuildTest.cake' -Verbosity 'Diagnostic'"`

### Output Log
C:\Test\BuildProcessTools>powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& '.\_Build.ps1' -Script '.\BuildTest.cake' -Verbosity 'Diagnostic'"

Research direction

Reproduce with the minimal BuildTest.cake and the reported _Build.ps1 PowerShell command, then trace the failure through Cake.Scripting.Roslyn.RoslynScriptSession, Cake.Core.Scripting.ScriptRunner, and Cake.Commands.BuildCommand. Done means the sample script compiles and executes successfully without the System.ArgumentNullException.
