This PR includes code for the preview 2 release of the Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive v2.0.0 module.
This PR is a rewrite of the Expand-Archive cmdlet in C# (previously, it was written in PowerShell Script). It has support for creating, updating, and overwriting archives. As of now, only zip and zip64 are supported (the .NET APIs for zip and zip64 are the same).
The PR has a -Format parameter which can used to specify the format of the archive. As of now, -Format has only one option: -Format Zip. When additional formats are supported by the module in preview 3, the -Format parameter will be more useful by providing options for tar and compressed tar.
To overwrite the destination path of the archive or items in the archive, use the -WriteMode Overwrite parameter.
