The remaining codefactor issues are not related to this PR or I'm adopting the current conventions in the source code for consistency but breaks CodeFactor rules. |

PR Summary
When using a screen reader or just getting the output of a table with lots of rows, the header is no longer on the screen and the columns may no longer make sense without the context. This PR adds a
-RepeatHeaderswitch toFormat-Tableto enable re-outputting the header after every screen full (minus 1 row). Expectation is that the user is piping the output to a pager (e.g. less) which uses the bottom row for pager information. I followed theAutoSizeparameter as the way to get the parameter from the cmdlet into the deep formatting object where it's needed.Fix #8455
