Please Check Environment for required version/features before running about strippy

[JoelStuart]

Which version have been reporting problems? Might try to test out the older ones when I get to it.

Looking to check $PSVersionTable.PSVersion at startup, but dont want to pre-terminate for older versions that are still runnable.

I'll have to do some testing for this. The following have been reported by others during attempted processing:

• previous versions of Strippy used write-information which was unavailable prior to v5
• Chris attempted to run Strippy on a client site and the logging code broke somewhere.

My plan was to run with various versions and take note of what failed. v5 is a guaranteed working version and that's what the code has been developed in.

While it is currently untested Strippy should also be perfectly cross platform. While it wasn't the case originally I now make sure to use platform agnostic directory cmdlets

I've tested Strippy with the linux Powershell distribution, it worked fine, but that was a very old version of Strippy, may need further testing.

Using the #Requires -version 5.0 comment convention should apparently prevent this script from running in older versions of powershell

a954581 finally implements this. Not sure why it took so long.

The main-line release of Strippy is now limited to Powershell 5.0 and higher. (unless you remove the first line of the script...)
