PR Summary
Fix detection of Windows PS vs PS Core resolving module directory issues
PR Context
Switch to using PSEdition instead of Host.Version as running PowerShell under certain instances does not return correct version (e.g. VSCode, .NET Interactive, Ruby/Puppet)
The PSEdition variable returns $null, or 'Desktop' under Windows PowerShell, and 'Core' under PowerShell Core. The code therefore checks for 'Core' to determine if Core is in use - otherwise, it determines Windows PowerShell.

This is the method preferred by the PowerShell team for identifying the use of PowerShell Core, rather than using version numbers
