DSC/PowerShellGroup incorrect group inDesiredState

• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

When all the resources in a PowerShellGroup are in the desired state, the group's inDesired state property is false. Looking at the code, I think it is because dsc compares the desiredState with actualState, but in the case of a PowerShellGroup the results are always going to be a single element with InDesiredState or an array of with the resources InDesiredState. Maybe dsc has to special case this group's result.

Expected behavior

Group's inDesiredState should be true if all its resource are in the desired state.

Actual behavior

PS D:\Dev\DSC> dsc resource test -r DSC/PowerShellGroup -i '{ "resources": [ { "name": "test", "type": "xE2ETestResource/E2EFileResource", "properties": { "path": "D:\\Dev\\DscV3\\testv3.txt", "content": "test" } } ] }'
