Revisit default formatting of ErrorRecord

[SteveL-MSFT]

The current formatting of ErrorRecord isn't useful enough for developers and too much unactionable
content for regular end users. Proposal on how to fix this will end up being a RFC, but we can discuss it here first. Perhaps the verbosity of the format is user-settable. There is also the problem of special casing formatting of ErrorRecord.

Steps to reproduce

# part 1
PS C:\Users\slee\repos\PowerShell> 1/0

# part 2
PS C:\Users\slee\repos\PowerShell> $error[0] | fl

Expected behavior

# part 1
# not sure what a good message would be for end users, but keeping it simple
Attempted to divide by zero.
At line:1 char:1
+ 1/0

# part 2 (requires -f)
PS C:\Users\slee\repos\PowerShell> $error[0] | fl -f

@SteveL-MSFT: This is essentially what #3647 is about.

I was about to post something there. Do you want us to continue here instead?

I whole heartedly agree.

BTW for script developers, I'd love to see something like Jeffrey's old Resolve-ErrorRecord (which we ship in PSCX) come built-in. This gives much more (hopefully useful) info for developers:

@mklement0 I'll resolve this as a dupe of yours #3647
