Scripts installed using `Save-PSResource -IncludeXml` are not discoverable by `Get-InstalledPSResource -Path`

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

Scripts installed with Save-PSResource -IncludeXml are not discoverable by Get-InstalledPSResource -Path.

Observed difference in behavior:

• Save-PSResource -IncludeXml adds <script_name>_InstalledScriptInfo.xml to the same directory as the script itself.
• Install-PSResource creates a directory InstalledScriptInfos where <script_name>_InstalledScriptInfo.xml is added.

I use Save-PSResource because Install-PSResource installs to OneDrive when known folder move (KFM) is enabled, and Install-PSResource has no override capabilities.

• User context, don't install to %OneDriveCommercial% if OneDrive for Business Known Folder Move (KFM) is enabled #627

Reproduce:

# Create unique $InstallPath
$InstallPath = [string] '{0}\{1}' -f [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop'), [datetime]::Now.ToString('yyyyMMddhhMMss')

# Create path
if (-not [System.IO.Directory]::Exists($InstallPath)) {
    $null = [System.IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory($InstallPath)
}

# Save a module and a script
Save-PSResource -Repository 'PSGallery' -TrustRepository -IncludeXml -Path $InstallPath -Name 'Az.Accounts'
Save-PSResource -Repository 'PSGallery' -TrustRepository -IncludeXml -Path $InstallPath -Name 'Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo'

# List contents of $InstallPath
Get-ChildItem -Path $InstallPath

# Find installed PSResources
Get-InstalledPSResource -Path $InstallPath

Expected behavior

Modules "installed" using Save-PSResource is discoverable by Get-InstalledPSResource -Path, so should scripts be.

Actual behavior

See expected behavior.

Error details

No error message.

Tested moving the XML files to the InstalledScriptInfos directory myself, but scripts were still not discoverable by Get-InstalledPSResource -Path.

I'll be using [Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet.UtilClasses.TestHooks]::ReadPSGetResourceInfo('<path_to_xml>') for now.

Thanks @o-l-a-v we were able to repro this and will fix it in on of the upcoming releases.
