Add PowerShell Core Architecture version to the PSVersionTable

[MaximoTrinidad]

I thinks it becomes necessary to include this information specially when creating a Github issue.
I want to create an RFC for this item.

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Environment data

> $PSVersionTable

You could start here.

Do you mean the .net core runtime version by that? I would find that useful.

[iSazonov]

the .net core runtime version

I remember that this was rejected previously.

It seems to me that the request is more to do with whether PowerShell is running under x86, x64, ARM, etc., rather than the .NET core runtime version itself?

[MaximoTrinidad]

Bingo! +1 @vexx32

There's an existing issue where ... I don't see any issues with the 64 bit version, but seems that the 32 bit is behaving differently.

So, when creating the Github issue, the it would be nice to have identify with architecture PowerShell is running on.

[bergmeister]

Hmm, I can see the point but there is much more involved that can play into it such as e.g. the architecture of the OS and hardware...
We should differentiate between things that go into $PSVersionTable and the issue template

[vexx32]

We can always extend the requested information beyond just $PSVersionTable

[MaximoTrinidad]

At least... Add the session "$env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE" to the "Environment Data" section when create the issue in Github.

I think this will be helpful enough and no changes are needed to the PSTableVersion is needed.

PSVersionTable between Windows x86 and Windows x64 are identical (and there are 2 differents packages)

Can we considerate adding an 'Architecture' property with $env:PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE value ?

[iSazonov]

@fMichaleczek We discussed this previously and rejected - the conclusion was "best practice is to test features".
