<#
    Shared helpers for the Pester tests. A test that changes files, links, ACLs, owners, audit entries, or
    inheritance works in its own sandbox folder below $env:TEMP\NTFSSecurity.Tests: it creates the sandbox with
    New-TestSandbox, sets the location to it, checks every target with Assert-TestSandboxPath before the change,
    and removes the sandbox with Remove-TestSandbox.
