Add setting to powershell.config.json to disable WinPS module loading #11309
Description
Summary of the new feature/enhancement
In PS7 we introduced the equivalent of WindowsCompatibility module in the engine (although using Jobs remoting instead of WinRM remoting). This is enabled by default. We should have a way to disable this if it causes problems for users. Current proposal is to add a setting in powershell.config.json.

Yeah, this should be configurable, but isn't the config.json a machine-wide setting? We should probably allow users to set this on a more granular basis if we can.
Also, do we have a cmdlet that can alter settings other than experimental features in the config.json currently?

config.json is both user and machine scoped. We could add cmdlets for this to make it easier for users.

It is important feature for early adoption and we also could add a message (link to docs) to startup welcome message.
