Catch problems from Foreach-Object -Parallel and fall back to using the non-parallel safe variant.
Errors will likely be output should the problem occur, but at least it will work.

See details of the problem here:
#6126

It's not pretty but it should work according to my tests.

Description

I just copied the non-parallel script-block into a function. If the parallel fails, I revert to the non-parallel. I know the catch should work and actually catch something, as I have seen that in my logs when I wrapped the 'scoop update' in a try-catch.

Motivation and Context

Actually I'm unsure if this is a powershell issue or whether its scoop using it wrongly.

Closes #6126

How Has This Been Tested?

I unfortunately could not trigger the problem. So I have only tested it by checking it works, and by

and reverting my buckets running this in the buckets dir to give it something to work on

cd c:\Users\Administrator\scoop\buckets
dir  | %{push-location $_ ; git reset --hard HEAD~10; Pop-Location}

I've checked it works in powershell5 and powershell 7.4.5. I have (temporarily) added a throw "test" above the foreach -parallel, to check the fallback code in pwsh 7. This is to simulate the behaviour of pwsh I have detected in my testing from when problem occurs.
