Comment for powershell.powerShellDefaultVersion should not complete full PowerShell Core Version

[DerAlbertCom]

In the comment for the setting

powershell.powerShellDefaultVersion is stated that the Version nummber should be given is something like PowerShell Core 6.0.2 (x64), which would be in my case PowerShell Core 6.1.2 (x64) no other version is installed.

vscode-powershell/package.json

Line 537 in 08f0bc5

"description": "Specifies the name of the PowerShell version used in the startup session when the extension loads e.g \"Windows PowerShell (x86)\" or \"PowerShell Core 6.0.2 (x64)\"."

But this does not work. With the full version number the Plugin falls back to PowerShell 5.1.x (Full Framework) .

But "powershell.powerShellDefaultVersion": "PowerShell Core 6 (x64)" is working fine.

I don't know what the expected behavior is, so i didn't provide a PR for that now.

Looks like we grab the expected version number from the path to pwsh.exe. And over time, the PS team has changed their version number strategy for that path.

Yes. I digged in the Source to get this information how the Version Information is created.

On my the path is C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6\pwsh.exe. That's why my version number works for me.

Thanks for catching this @DerAlbertCom we should provide a better comment that is inclusive for all versions of PowerShell.
