Support sudo <PowerShell cmdlet>

[joeyaiello]

Steps to reproduce

sudo Remove-Item foo.txt where foo.txt is owned by root

Expected behavior

foo.txt is deleted

Actual behavior

sudo: Remove-Item: command not found

Hum! Very interesting. But, I think the actual behavior is as expected. As in Windows we don't have a command like sudo.
But, you could use 'sudo powershell' and then do the remove foo.txt (which was created using 'sudo powershell') then it works when using Remove-Item. Of course, it won't work in a non-elevated permission.

I would only use 'sudo' on Linux commands ("sudo nautilus") from within PowerShell.

Even on Windows, it would be good to have similar capability to run a cmdlet as another user or elevated and something that could relied on in portable scripts. May need an RFC for this.

This functionality would be useful to work around #3506.
