Description
If SQL is already installed on a machine (such as Azure images) then using xSqlServerSetup to change any of the other configurations other than Features doesn't do anything.
Should we extend xSqlServerSetup Test-TargetResource to include checking collation (and eventually all the other possible settings)?
Do we want to extend xSqlServerDatabase to also allow setting collation that isn't the same as the server level one.
I'm happy to work on a PR for the xSqlServerSetup section.

Research direction
Start with xSqlServerSetup and its Test-TargetResource behavior, then compare the requested REBUILDDATABASE and collation handling with the related xSqlServerDatabase questions. Done should mean that the supported scope is decided and the resource correctly detects and applies the agreed configuration changes.
