ArcBox 3.0 - enhancing error handling, improving script execution and adding new configuration options

[janegilring]

This pull request includes several updates to the azure_jumpstart_arcbox project, focusing on enhancing error handling, improving script execution, and adding new configuration options. The most important changes are summarized below:

Error Handling Enhancements:

• Added $ErrorActionPreference = $env:ErrorActionPreference at the beginning of multiple scripts to ensure consistent error handling behavior. (azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/ArcServersLogonScript.ps1, azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/DataOpsLogonScript.ps1, azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/DevOpsLogonScript.ps1, azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/WinGet.ps1) [1] [2] [3] [4]

Script Execution Improvements:

• Combined the Invoke-Command calls for onboarding nested Windows VMs into a single call for efficiency. (azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/ArcServersLogonScript.ps1)

Configuration Options:

• Introduced a new debugEnabled parameter to control the ErrorActionPreference setting, allowing easier debugging of automation scripts. (azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/Bootstrap.ps1, azure_jumpstart_arcbox/bicep/clientVm/clientVm.bicep, azure_jumpstart_arcbox/bicep/main.bicep) [1] [2] [3]
• Updated the commandToExecute for the Bootstrap.ps1 script to include the new debugEnabled parameter. (azure_jumpstart_arcbox/bicep/clientVm/clientVm.bicep)

Cleanup and Optimization:

• Removed temporary workaround for the Posh-SSH module installation as the issue has been resolved. (azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/Bootstrap.ps1)

Additional Software Installations:

• Added configuration to install the Istio command line utility using winget in the dataops.dsc.yml and devops.dsc.yml files. (azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/dsc/dataops.dsc.yml, azure_jumpstart_arcbox/artifacts/dsc/devops.dsc.yml) [1] [2]
