filebeat cookbook does not work with latest Powershell cookbook

[JCotton1123]

It looks like the latest powershell cookbook release removed the powershell resource. As a result this cookbook fails with the below. A temporary fix is to lock the powershell version to the latest 3.X.X release.

NoMethodError
  -------------
  No resource or method named `powershell' for `Chef::Recipe "config"'

Confirmed that this broke for us too.

If I'm reading this code correctly, it should be using Chef's built-in powershell_script resource.

Not that I know much about it but I tend to agree with @coderanger. That being said, powershell_script was specifically dropped in favor of powershell per #9 and I'm not entirely clear on why.

@coderanger Thanks! updated to use powershell_script.

@seaniscold It would be great if you could create different issues for the mentioned items?

Released v0.3.6.
