Powershell syntax now supported by ALE (Vim) plugin

ALE project has approved my PR to show powershell syntax errors by parsing the powershell by powershell itself. If the current buffer has a filetype of Powershell, the buffer is run through the following powershell script to check for syntax errors. Errors are then displayed in Vim by ALE:

        Param($Script)
        trap {$_; continue } & {
            $Contents = Get-Content -Path $Script;
            $Contents = [string]::Join([Environment]::NewLine, $Contents);
            [void]$ExecutionContext.InvokeCommand.NewScriptBlock($Contents);
        };
