nxFile: Does not report reasons for compliance, only reasons for non-compliance #28

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

The nxFile resource should report reasons for either compliance or non-compliance. Currently it only reports reasons for non-compliance.
The documentation here sets the expectation that Reasons is intended to convey information about either compliance or non-compliance, not just non-compliance: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/resources/authoringresourceclass?view=dsc-1.1&viewFallbackFrom=dsc-3.0

<# This property reports the reasons the machine is or is not compliant.

    [DscProperty(NotConfigurable)] attribute indicates the property is
    not configurable in DSC configuration.  Properties marked this way
    are populated by the Get() method to report additional details
    about the resource when it is present.
