Ability to disable the startup logo without specifying arguments

[r-darwish]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

When setting Powershell as the default user shell in a unix system using chsh it is not allowed to pass any arguments to the shell. Thus, a Unix user which wants Powershell to be its default shell cannot avoid the logo.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Maybe have Powershell load an additional file before $profile. The file could contain settings such as the ability to disable the logo

Perhaps we could have an environment variable that determines whether the logo is displayed?

[r-darwish]

I think that environment variables will cause some chicken and the egg problem. Usually, users define environment variables in files such as ~/.profile which are eventually read by the user shell. There are other ways such as ~/.pam_environment or ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf when using systemd, but I don't know if there's a way to do that in macOS.

We could add an option in powershell.config.json file (and GPO).

Any updates on this issue? I feel this is much needed.
