Powershell: Update *nix package metadata information

[raghushantha]

The debian package has certain fields such as License, Maintainer, Vendor etc that need to be reviewed and set correctly. This has to be done consistently for all *nix packages.

And RPM and PKG, but they all inherit from the same settings in Start-PSPackage :smile:

Notes to myself

• remove OPS reference
• Add MIT license
• Fix maintainer to be PowerShell org
• Change vendor email

Good doc on all the various DEB control fields (though, interestingly, License doesn't seem to be showing up here): https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html

It looks like we could use a publicly facing email address for the team/project. Let me get a discussion going internally to see if we have one.

We use [email protected] for commit messages. Not very official, something on Microsoft.com domain would be more appropriate.

Taken care of.
