Preview notice

Since the bicep assemblies now depend on .NET 7.0, the module now requires PowerShell version 7.3.
GitHub Actions runner-images used by GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps Pipelines only ships with PowerShell 7.2 and will only support LTS versions of PowerShell. To not break anyone using our module in a pipeline, we chose to release this version as a Preview.
