Consider appveyor artifact for module

[RamblingCookieMonster]

Hi!

Love that this project is open sourced, and I can see work on #605 right in PR #617. I browsed to AppVeyor to see if there was a module or nuget package I could test with, but noticed it looks like it's just the repo zipped up.

Have you or would you consider publishing pre-built modules to AppVeyor (a la DSC resources)? This would help folks willing to start kicking the tires, who don't have the software ready to go to build these themselves, speed up the process for folks who do have the tools, etc.

Cheers!

Warren Frame (@RamblingCookieMonster) Thanks for the suggestion! I agree that this would help get a feature or fix out in the wild earlier. Will try to get this checked-in soon.

A workaround for now would be to extract the psscriptanalyzer.zip artifact and use the out/PSScriptAnalyzer directory - import-module /path/to/artifact/out/psscriptanalyzer. This will work only on Windows PowerShell though (not on any core version).

This workaround seems to be broken now. When I import the psd1 file, no commands get exported and when I try to import the dll, then I get a hint why:

ipmo : Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\cberg\Downloads\psscriptanalyzer
(1)\out\PSScriptAnalyzer\Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ScriptAnalyzer.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not
supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)

I found out by coincidence what the reason for the error above was, when downloading the artifact as a zip, Windows does not trust the code, therefore before extracting the zip file, one has to go the file's properties, tick Unblock and then press OK.

I will add a PR soon that makes it upload only the artifacts instead of the whole checkout
