Adding the Parameter -Credential to Register-PSResourceRepository

[tinuwalther]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user of the PSResourceGet module I want to pass a PSCredential object (username and password) as it is possible in the PowerShellGet module, because I cannot install the Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement module without a registered repository or/and without an internet connection to the PowerShell Gallery.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

It should be possible to use the Register-PSResourceRepository as in the following example:

[PSCredential]$cred = Get-Credential -Message 'Enter your credentials for the repository to register'

$parameters = @{
    Name = 'nexusNugetRepo'
    Uri  = 'http://localhost:8081/repository/PSModules/'
    Trusted = $true
    Priority = 50
    Credential = $cred
} 
Register-PSResourceRepository @parameters

@alerickson I discussed this with you at the PSConfEU in Antwerp at your session on container galleries

Basically this is not required because while PowerShellGet pinged the uri at registration time, PSResourceGet does not-- therefore you can pass in the -Credential using the -Credential param at Install-PSResource time... the reason that credential persistence is not supported without SecretManagement is because there is no SecretVault to securely keep the credential in... perhaps a reason to ship SecretManagement in PowerShell 7.x
