SqlSetup: Missing Configuration Feature/Options : Instant File Initialization

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

This issue is created to bring some improvements to the SqlSetup DSC Configuration. The idea is to report all the missing options in the resource to be allow the installation of all the features and to use all the options available in the SQL Server installer.

Option to add to the DSC Resource :

/SQLSVCINSTANTFILEINIT : Enables instant file initialization for SQL Server service account. For security and performance considerations, see Database Instant File Initialization.

The DSC configuration that is using the resource (as detailed as possible)

Version of the operating system and PowerShell the target node is running

Windows Server 2012/2012R2/2016

Start by locating the SqlSetup DSC resource and its existing SQL Server installer-option mappings. Trace how /SQLSVCINSTANTFILEINIT is handled for the listed SQL Server versions, and consider the work complete when the resource accepts the option and passes it through during setup.
