Replaces all WriteInformation() calls with WriteVerbose()

Intention was to write to Host. PowerShell implements this over information stream.
A conclusion was to be close to Windows PowerShell so I see no reason to write to verbose stream in the same way. I believe we need to remove this.

That is true...

I was thinking of a use case where -Quiet may be used in the code, but during development the -Verbose parameter could be added to show the otherwise hidden/ignored information.

Though I suppose the verbose output probably should just be something along the lines of: VERBOSE: Testing connection to <target>?

Yes, verbose output should has another form and probably be in other places because it serves other purposes. We could implement this later if this will be needed.

I'll do a revision of the verbose output today, keeping it pretty simple. We can expand on it more at a later date if we need more. :)

You could simply remove the extra output in the PR and add verbose in follow PR to speed up code review.

@iSazonov would it be better to also remove progress bars in this PR or following PR?

EDIT: It seems that change is a bit simpler at least from looking at the diffs, since we can just remove entirely the methods that handle the information/progress data. If you'd rather I leave the progress in for now, just ping me and I'll make the change. 🙂

@TravisEz13 is there anything more you guys need from me on this one? I have a couple more PRs lined up and ready for this cmdlet that I'd love to get in for PSv7 to more fully cover the scope of the approved RFC. 💖

@SteveL-MSFT @TravisEz13 I know you guys are pretty busy at this point in the release cycle, but can't hurt to ask I hope:

Can I ask to get this one merged in and move forward with implementing the remainder of the changes already approved in the RFC for v7 timeframe? I have the code for it all written (at least one or maybe two more PR's worth) and the RFC is already approved, so I would like to have all the Test-Connection changes I plan on making merged in for v7 GA if at all possible.

Thank you! You guys are awesome! 😊 💖

Did the output of the Cmdlet change in this PR?

@TravisEz13 The success output of this cmdlet has not changed. That is what I plan to change in a follow-up PR. 🙂

Or, if you'd prefer, I can merge the changes from that branch into here directly, but that does make the diffs unfortunately difficult to work through, which is why I subdivided my PRs on this one. 🙂

No... I prefer it like this. I'm just trying to clarify.

🎉v7.0.0-preview.5 has been released which incorporates this pull request.:tada:
