PR Summary

Binary module authors have been neglected, and some data that is easily accessible in PowerShell has not been exposed via public interfaces to binary module authors. I've used reflection in many cases to work around these interface shortcomings since before PowerShell became open source, and I'd like to work away from that and start making these highly important pieces of PowerShell data public so that reflection isn't needed moving forward.

This PR simply makes the static PSVersionInfo.PSVersion and PSVersionInfo.PSEdition properties public so that binary module authors building against PowerShell Core can make runtime decisions based on the version and edition as required without having to invoke PowerShell to retrieve $PSVersionTable and without having to use reflection.
