[Bug] Package function breaks when package name contains single quotes

[megamorf]

Hey guys,

I'd like to report the following error:

Describe 'Appsense is installed and configured' {
    Context 'Appsense Agents are installed' {
        Package "AppSense Application Manager Agent 8.9 SP1" Version { Should Be '8.9.451.0' }
        Package "AppSense Application Manager Configuration 'xzy-Desktop' 8.9.18.0" Version { Should Be '8.9.18.0' }
    }
}

The first package function call works while the second doesn't recognize the name parameter properly:

[-] Package property 'Version' for 'AppSense Application Manager Configuration 'xyz-Desktop' 8.3.0.0' Should Be '8.3.0.0' 67ms
  ParameterBindingException: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument "xyz-Desktop 8.3.0.0".

The package can be found with the Get-Package cmdlet:

PS C:\> Get-Package -Name "AppSense Application Manager Configuration 'xyz-Desktop' 8.9.18.0"

Name                           Version          Source                         Summary

I guess this is an internal quotation handling problem.

I've built a release that includes the PRs related to Package. I haven't done any functional testing on it myself, yet.

The fix works for me. 👍
