Modules with long file paths can be published but not installed

[michaeltlombardi]

Describe the Bug

Using the functions in this module, it is possible to puppetize and publish a module with DSC Resources which cannot be installed via puppet module install.

Expected Behavior

Modules published to the forge can be installed by end users.

Steps to Reproduce

# Validate the module is buildable
New-Item /tdsc -ItemType Directory
Import-Module -Name Puppet.Dsc
New-PuppetDscModule New-PuppetDscModule -PowerShellModuleName xremotedesktopsessionhost -Verbose -OutputDirectory /tdsc
# Show that the module built in this way is _not_ installable
puppet module install dsc-xremotedesktopsessionhost --version 2.0.0-0-1 --trace

Additional Context

The root of this problem is with minitar as described in PUP-10924 and elaborated on in PDK-1684 - as long as we are unable to support long paths on module installation even when the operating system supports those paths we will have modules which are not installable by end users.

This Issue needs to be resolved before a 1.0.0 release can be cut.

[michaeltlombardi]

Support for long file paths has landed in core ruby but not yet in minitar.

[michaeltlombardi]

Possibly resolved by #169 once testing and docs are implemented
