exception catch in vm.common.psm1 may not be working

### Details

At the beginning of `packages/common.vm/tools/vm.common/vm.common.psm1`, we set `$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'` and we do the same at the beginning of many packages. Isn't this causing that the `catch` when an exception occurs is not executed as the program immediately exits? @MalwareMechanic you introduced some of this exception handling to render errors better in the logs. Do you have more insight here?

Start at the $ErrorActionPreference assignment in packages/common.vm/tools/vm.common/vm.common.psm1 and inspect the surrounding catch handling used for log errors. Reproduce an exception with the current setting and verify whether the catch executes; done means the behavior is confirmed and any needed error-handling change is reflected in the logs.
