Windows PowerShell binds an object that is passed by position to a string
parameter through ToString, which returns only the name of a child item, so
the cmdlets looked for it in the current location. The path parameters now
convert file and folder objects to their full path (#88).

Defect 22:
- [OutputType]: Test-Path2 writes System.Boolean, not file objects;
Get-FileHash2 writes the file object with Hash and Algorithm, not access
rules; Add-NTFSAudit and Remove-NTFSAudit write audit entries since
defect 6; Copy-Item2, Move-Item2, Remove-Item2, and the five inheritance
cmdlets with -PassThru declared no type.
- Enable-Privileges and Disable-Privileges with -PassThru wrote the
privileges as one collection; they now enumerate it.
- New-NTFSSymbolicLink -PassThru returned a FileInfo for a link to a
folder; it now returns a DirectoryInfo.
The OUTPUTS sections of the pages name the same types.
Tests/OutputTypes.Tests.ps1 (new): 15 tests; Disable-Privileges and the
symbolic link need privileges and run in CI.

The cmdlets that take ownership of an item to repeat a denied operation
left the account that ran them as the owner when the second attempt failed
as well. BaseCmdlet.InvokeAsOwner now restores the previous owner on every
exit path and reports a failed restore as RestoreOwnerError.
Add-NTFSAccess, Add-NTFSAudit, Remove-NTFSAccess, and Remove-NTFSAudit
wrote the unchanged entries of an item with -PassThru after a failed
change; they now continue with the next path.
The inheritance tests assert the error identity and cover a missing path
on every runner.

Defect 14. Add-NTFSAccess, Remove-NTFSAccess, Add-NTFSAudit, and
Remove-NTFSAudit have the sets PathSimple, PathComplex, SDSimple, and
SDComplex; the default PathComplex needs -Path. A command with
-SecurityDescriptor and without -AppliesTo, -InheritanceFlags, or
-PropagationFlags matched both SD sets and failed with "Parameter set
cannot be resolved". -AppliesTo is now mandatory in the Simple sets, so
such a command resolves to the Complex set and its default flags
(ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit / None, which is what AppliesTo
ThisFolderSubfoldersAndFiles means), as a command with -Path already did.
With -AppliesTo nothing changes.
The pages say "Required: True" for -AppliesTo and drop its never
reachable defaults; platyPS takes that metadata from the shipped help
file, so the help file was regenerated before the build.
Tests/Access.Tests.ps1: 6 tests on in-memory security descriptors.

Defect 6. With -PassThru, Add-NTFSAudit returned the access entries of a
security descriptor in its SecurityDescriptor sets, and Remove-NTFSAudit
returned the access entries of the item in its Path sets. Both now return
the audit entries, as in their other parameter sets.
Tests/Audit.Tests.ps1: 2 tests; the Remove-NTFSAudit test writes a SACL
and runs in CI.

Defect 5 (#4). -Account and -AccessRights of Add-NTFSAudit were both
declared at position 2, so a positional call failed with "Cannot bind
positional parameters because no names were given". -AccessRights is now
at position 3 in all four parameter sets, like in Remove-NTFSAudit.
The page's parameter metadata says position 3 as well. platyPS takes the
position from Get-Help, that is from the shipped help file, so
Update-MarkdownHelp kept the old value; the page, the regenerated help
file, and the build now agree.
Tests/Audit.Tests.ps1: 5 tests (positions in each parameter set and a
positional call against an in-memory security descriptor).
