meta: Pester v5

[xtqqczze]

Pester version 5.0.0 has been released, we should start thinking about how to migrate.

incomplete list

Blocking changes

• The Invoke-Pester interface is incompatible as some parameters have been removed, we must use the new advanced interface where configuration is passed as a single object via -Configuration parameter.

Possibly blocking changes

• -Pending and -Inconclusive are currently unimplemented and are converted to -Skip.
• Parametrized scripts are unimplemented

It would be nice to have a link to Pester 5.0 docs.
We will have to put "global" code to BeforeAll blocks.
It would interesting to see perf wins for our tests.

It's gonna be a bit more than just that but yeah we should really see if we can update tests to work with v5 of Pester sooner rather than later. It'll be a good opportunity to resolve any outstanding style issues with the existing tests as well; there's probably going to be a fair bit of refactoring needed, especially in the older tests due to the new split behaviour between test discovery and test runs.

@iSazonov the release notes appear to be the only documentation available for v5, issue opened: pester/docs#45

We could add new CIs for Pester 5.0 and migrate step by step, file by file.
For that we could change tags - "CI" with "CIv5", "Feature" with "FeatureV5" and so on.

Pester v5.1.0 is released with numerous improvements:

• NUnit output is fixed.
• Parametrized scripts are implemented.

@kilasuit Still relevant, please reopen.

I think this will be a keep-open but low priority due to the amount of work that would be needed.
