Provide a way to host PowerShell in a CoreCLR application #2291
Description
This is follow-up from #2284
Steps to reproduce
Create a simple coreclr app that hosts powershell thru Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK
Note: the current function of Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK is to provide an ability to compile binary modules that then could be imported and used in PowerShell on any platform. This issue asks a question: should we allow the same nuget package to enable hosting scenario?
Program.cs
using System;
using System.Management.Automation;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
PowerShellAssemblyLoadContextInitializer.SetPowerShellAssemblyLoadContext(AppContext.BaseDirectory);
using (var ps = PowerShell.Create())
{
ps.AddScript("Get-Process | Out-String");
var result = ps.Invoke()[0];
Console.WriteLine(result.ToString());
}
}

</configuration>dotnet restore works fine, dotnet run doesn't
Expected behavior
You should be able to run and execute
Actual behavior
On Unix (note that 6.0.0-alpha10 package doesn't have libs compile under Unix configuration, so that's expected)
