🩹 [Patch]: Allow more overrides from manifest.psd1 + smarter defaults

[MariusStorhaug]

Description

This pull request includes updates to the Build-PSModuleManifest function in the scripts/helpers/Build/Build-PSModuleManifest.ps1 file. The changes aim to improve the handling of manifest properties by preserving existing values when they are present.

Key changes include:

• Handling of RequiredAssemblies:

  • Added logic to preserve existing RequiredAssemblies values if they are present, otherwise populate with new values or set to an empty array if none are found. Now also includes *.dll files under the modules folder of the built module (non recursive).

• Handling of NestedModules:

  • Added logic to preserve existing NestedModules values if they are present, otherwise populate with new values or set to an empty array if none are found. Now also includes *.dll files under the modules folder of the built module. Will only look on one level down, not recursively within each subfolder.

• Handling of ScriptsToProcess:

  • Added logic to preserve existing ScriptsToProcess values if they are present, otherwise populate with new values or set to an empty array if none are found.
