AzGovViz v6_minor_20220722_1

Changes (2022-Jul-22 / Minor)

New parameter -PSRuleFailedOnly - PSRule for Azure will only report on failed resource (may save some space/noise)

Changes (2022-Jul-17 / Major)

This change impacts GitHub Actions only: As the PSRule CSV output can become quite big and GitHub is actively blocking files larger than 100MB (reference), the file size of the export will be validated and in case the 100MB limit is exceeded a new export excluding the column 'description' will be initiated. If that still is too large then also the column 'recommendation' will be exluded. If even then the export is exceeding the limit then the export will be deleted in order not to break the workflow at push to repo. Issue ref: #121
New parameter -CriticalMemoryUsage - Define at what percentage of memory usage the garbage collection should kick in (default=90). Example: .\pwsh\AzGovVizParallel.ps1 -CriticalMemoryUsage 70
