Start-BitsTransfer documentation should have a clear warning that it is not suitable for use in automation

[DrChat]

The Start-BitsTransfer commandlet is seemingly a useful tool for initiating bulk file transfers from PowerShell, however one crucial fact is that it depends on the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to be running in order to queue up transfer jobs. In environments where a user is not signed in such as CI, the service is not running and this commandlet is unusable.

There should be a clear warning at the top of this documentation page stating this fact and telling users to avoid attempting to use this commandlet in automation.
