New-FileCatalog creates 0-byte .CAT file, breaks cmd replay #3068
Description
Using -Whatif with new-filecatalog creates a 0-byte .CAT file.
Expected Behavior
Using -Whatif should have no impact on the system, so that removing -Whatif and replaying the command will succeed.
Current Behavior
Current behavior prevents replaying the command without -Whatif because the 0-byte .Cat file is present.
That file cannot be over-written without adding -Force, so replaying the command fails.
Possible Solution
No .Cat file should be created if -Whatif is specified.
