Feature update ConvertTo-ARMTemplates - Parallelism, skips and Child Resource handling

[MariusStorhaug]

Change

Slight overhaul of the ConvertTo-ARMTemplate.ps1 script.

• Added parallelism with throttle set to number of logical cores.
• Added skips for:
  • SkipMetadataCleanup - Skip Cleanup of Bicep metadata from json files
  • SkipBicepCleanUp - Skip removal of bicep files and folders
  • SkipWorkflowUpdate - Skip replacing .bicep with .json in workflow files
• Added ability to handle conversion of child resources using the ConvertChildren switch. This will convert child resource modules, keeping them as independent deployable ARM/json templates. These child ARM/json templates will not be linked by parent templates. This needs to be handled manually for now.

To test the changes, check out the branch users/mast/ConvertionUpdate and run the following commands:

. .\utilities\tools\ConvertTo-ARMTemplate.ps1 -Verbose
