Packer: Crash while provisioning with Powershell script. Error uploading ps script containing env vars: unexpected EOF

[matthewwerf]

Overview of the Issue

Packer crashes during a powershell provisioning step.

Reproduction Steps

Run packer build. The build fails while uploading a powershell script with env vars due to an unexpected EOF. This uses the azure-arm builder. It was not an issue previously when I was using the Hyper-V builder. I apologize in advance for the atrocity that is windows-build-tools installation output.

Hi! I think the bug causing this crash was solved in v1.5.0, in this PR: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/8369

If you update to v1.5.1 this shouldn't happen anymore :)

Confirmed go panic issue is resolved in 1.5.1, much thanks
