Support null value for ServiceAutoStartProvider property of xWebApplication

[fredgate]

I open this pull request to follow my work to fix the issue #225.

The goal is that xWebApplication resource provide the avibility to remove ServiceAutoStartProvider already configured for a web application in IIS. I actually remove the property for the web application. Could I have a feedback (about logic, readability...) on the pushed commit ? I think that a unit test should be added to validate this case, but I don't know exactly what and how to do. Some help for this shoud be appreciate.

Surely should we also remove the provider of the web application from IIS's providers list if no other application references this provider. What do you think ?

Hi @fredgate - Yes, a unit test would be great. If you want to check out our TestGuidelines that should get you started. You can just add it in to the existing xWebApplication tests. Thanks!

Would be nice also to be able to clear /system.applicationHost/serviceAutoStartProviders as well but it's not really needed tbh

Hi @fredgate are you still working on this? Happy to help if needed.

Passing ServiceAutoStartProvider = $null will result in $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey('ServiceAutoStartProvider') evaluating to $false. Adding the AllowNull() attribute doesn't work too, so I think we have to use another approach. May be empty string? Is passing an empty string to remove an item in compliance with the Powershell guidelines?

xWebApplication WebApp
{
    Name = "Foo"
    Ensure = "Present"
    Website = "Default Web Site"
    WebAppPool = "Foo"
    PhysicalPath = "c:\inetpub\foo"
    ServiceAutoStartEnabled = $false
    ServiceAutoStartProvider = ''
}
