The -Scope parameter for Export-Configuration has a parameterset (and it should not) #8

We need to be able to specify a value for Export-Configuration -Scope regardless of ParameterSet (just like you can for Get-StoragePath).

Currently, it has it's ParameterSet to the ManualOverride set, so you can only use it when specifying the -Name and -Company by hand (as in the first example below).

I want all three of these to work:

Scenario: Specifying the scope when listing metadata
    Given a module with the name 'MyModule1' and the author 'MyCompany' with code like this
    """
    $Config = Import-Configuration -Company 'MyCompany' -Name MyModule1
    if(!$Config.ApiKey) {
        $Config =@{ ApiKey = "My Default API Key" }
        Export-Configuration $Config  -Company 'MyCompany' -Name MyModule1 -Scope Machine
    }
    """
    When the module is imported
    Then a settings file named Configuration.psd1 should exist in the Machine folder

Scenario: Specifying the scope when piping moduleinfo
    Given a module with the name 'MyModule1'
    When a user writes (something like) this
    """
    Get-Module MyModule1 | Export-Configuration @{ ApiKey = "MyApiKey" } -Scope Enterprise
    """
    Then a settings file named Configuration.psd1 should exist in the Enterprise folder

Scenario: Specifying the scope implicitly
    Given a module with the name 'MyModule1' and the author 'MyCompany' with code like this
    """
    function Set-ApiKey {
        param($ApiKey)
        $Config =@{ ApiKey = $ApiKey }
        Export-Configuration $Config -Scope Machine
    }
    """
   When I invoke Set-ApiKey "OurCorporateApiKey"
   Then a settings file named Configuration.psd1 should exist in the Machine folder
