Support Puppet type conversions to expected Powershell types

[nickgw]

Use Case

Trying to migrate from puppetlabs/dsc to puppet.dsc generated modules is a chore because puppetlabs/dsc handles puppet types being passed to Powershell correctly. IE: dsc_ensure => present, is valid, but in puppet.dsc, dsc_ensure must be one of "Present" or "Absent". Similarly, passing puppet bool to dsc resources works correctly in puppetlabs/dsc but must be "True" or "False" in puppet.dsc

Describe the Solution You Would Like

I'd appreciate the same functionality as in puppetlabs/dsc. I could see a solution being if a param is an enum downcase them before comparing and handling translating booleans so they dont need to be capitalized strings.

Circling back on this, changing this block:

  If (![String]::IsNullOrEmpty($DscResourceProperty.Values)) {
    # Enums are handles specially
    $InnerText = $DscResourceProperty.Values | ForEach-Object -Process { "'$_'" }
    $PuppetDataTypeText = "Enum[$($InnerText -join ', ')]"
  } 

in https://github.com/puppetlabs/Puppet.Dsc/blob/main/src/internal/functions/Get-PuppetDataType.ps1#L45
to:

  If (![String]::IsNullOrEmpty($DscResourceProperty.Values)) {
    # Enums are handles specially
    $InnerText = $DscResourceProperty.Values | ForEach-Object -Process { "'$_'" }
    $InnerText += $InnerText | ForEach-Object -Process {"$($_.toLower())" }
    $InnerText = $InnerText | Select-Object -Unique
    $PuppetDataTypeText = "Enum[$($InnerText -join ', ')]"
  } 

Would resolve a majority of the headaches. For a property values of:
$DscResourceProperty = @{Values = @('Install', 'Upgrade', 'InstallFailoverCluster', 'AddNode', 'PrepareFailoverCluster', 'CompleteFailoverCluster')}
The current result of that block is :
Enum['Install', 'Upgrade', 'InstallFailoverCluster', 'AddNode', 'PrepareFailoverCluster', 'CompleteFailoverCluster']

with the suggested change it is:
Enum['Install', 'Upgrade', 'InstallFailoverCluster', 'AddNode', 'PrepareFailoverCluster', 'CompleteFailoverCluster', 'install', 'upgrade', 'installfailovercluster', 'addnode', 'preparefailovercluster', 'completefailovercluster']
