This commit updates our travis config to use xenial,
16.04 instead of trusty, 14.04, because trusty has
reached EOL and is now causing errors.

This commit increases the timeout for waiting on the named
pipe to open. This resolves issues where servers under
heavy load do not open the pipe quickly enough.

This commit adds the pwshlib module / ruby-pwsh gem
as a dependency, updating the development gems list
in the Gemfile, the dependencies in the metadata,
and the fixtures list.

This will enable the module to depend on the updted
library code from the ruby-pwsh gem and pwshlib.

Prior to this commit the PowerShell module providers
depended on a vendored version of the PowerShell code
manager library in the PuppetX namespace.

This commit updates the providers and their tests to
leverage the ruby-pwsh gem from the pwshlib Puppet
module instead. This reduces the amount of maintenance
required and simplifies the code base.

As Puppet 5.5 is now the lower bound for supported versions
of Puppet, the testing to ensure compatibility with 4x can
be dropped.

The ruby-pwsh library is not supported on Puppet 4x.

pdksync - (maint) Override pdk gem version to master branch (PDK-1525 workaround until release)

This commit places the requires statement for the
ruby-pwsh ruby code (found in the dependency module,
puppetlabs-pwshlib) in a begin-rescue block and adds
a loud error message that points at the solution.

This will cause the loading of the providers to still
fail during autoloading, but to do so usefully.

We chose not to use the feature/confine pattern
because it is not supported by the resource_api, the
primary interface through which we expect community
members to write types and providers in the future.

We chose not to use a utility loader method, which
would have prevented breaking during autoloading,
because of the friction and additional complexity
cost incurred for every module needing to adopt
this pattern.

While this rescued-requires pattern will still
cause an error during autoloading, this should
only be possible in cases where the module is
being installed from github and the dependency
chain is not installed.
