Pull request overview
This PR updates the dsc resource * CLI surface to use --required-version (instead of --version) for specifying a resource version requirement, aligning the flag name with its actual semantics and addressing #1393.
Changes:
- Renames the resource subcommand argument field from
versiontorequired_version, producing a--required-versionlong flag. - Updates the
resourcesubcommand dispatcher match arms to bindrequired_versionasversionfor downstream calls. - Adds
--versionas a backwards-compatibility alias (currently implemented as a visible alias).

…source commands Prior to this change, the `dsc resource *` subcommands used the `--version` flag to specify the version requirement for the resource that the command invokes. The option accepts a string which it parses into a `ResourceVersionReq` instance. The name of the option was misleading, as it implied that the user should specify a specific version, like `1.2.3`, when this would actually parse as the version requirement `^1.2.3`, which would match any version `>=1.2.3 <2.0.0`. This change: - Renames the `--version` option to `--required-version` to better reflect the semantics and minimize confusion. - Retains the short option `-v` and aliases the long option `--version` for backward compatibility. - Fixes PowerShell#1393
