The Data on Demand Management Pack contains a number of useful System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) agent tasks, including the Netstat task required by Squared Up Visual Application Discovery & Analytics.
This PR improves the downstream experience of these tasks when consumed by other tools or viewed in the SCOM console.
Changes
CSV format is now valid without requiring the first line to be trimmed from some tasks
A list format is now provided via the Format parameter
The default returned format is now CSV, as this format is most widely understood by reporting or analytics tools
DNS Client Cache output is now correct when requesting text/list format
Whitespace has been normalized to spaces

Breaking changes
No loss of functionality, although the default output format change may catch some users out (in the case of the Netstat task, this will be for the better as we no longer display the csvEX format by default). This can always be overridden however, or the current tasks disabled and the probe/write actions used in a custom management pack.
