[DSR] - Alpine 3.19 - x64 #21172

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Alpine Linux is widely used in containerized and cloud native environments due to its small footprint. But unfortunately PowerShells to drop support for Alpine Linux since version 3.18, for some reasons. Although there is still a release of PowerShell for Alpine available on GitHub the official documentation says its is not supported on Alpine 3.18 and the latest version 3.19 is not even mentioned. In additional the installation instructions do not work on Alpine 3.19 anymore.
I have reported that already but the issue got immediately closed without any further explanations: MicrosoftDocs/PowerShell-Docs#10775

I am sad to see that because it gives (again) the impression that PowerShell resp. Microsoft does not care about the cloud native and open source world.

So please, pleas reestablish support for Alpine Linux again or at least explain a bit more in the documentation why it is not support or which issues one would have with Alpine Linux. Because, as far as I experience it, PowerShell can installed and works just fine on Alpine 3.19.
