Run Pester tests against the module.
This task will first compile the source files into the complete module under the out folder in the root of the repository and then run a set of Pester tests to validate functionality.

Test
Run both the Analyze and Pester tasks
.\build.ps1 -Task Test

Build the source files into a usable module. The files under the PoshBot subfolder will not run as a PowerShell module by itself. The module must be built first. This task will produce a usable module in a folder called out in the root of the repository.
