Cannot find imported module of Powershell 7 polyglot action

[bcpmihail]

Description

Executing a PowerShell 7 polyglot action with an imported module results in an error of the type "The specified module '...' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory."
The error is most probably due to the folder structure of the generated ZIP file (module version subfolders not supported by BTVA).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a polyglot project with a PowerSHell 7 polyglot action ("runtime": "powercli:13-powershell-7.4")
2. Import a module in the action (e.g. Import-Module DnsClient-PS)
3. Build with BTVA and push to an environment (mvn clean package vrealize:push -Penv)
4. Run the action from orchestrator.

Preconditions: [What are the preconditions to reproduce the issue]

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]

The action completes as intended.

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]

An error of the type "The specified module '...' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory." is observable in the execution logs. As a result, any functions part of the imported module cannot be found.

Reproduces how often: [What percentage of the time does it reproduce]
Always

The Modules folder is produced in the polyglot project "out" folder but is not included in the zip file:

Editing the polyglot action ZIP file to include the Modules folder with the expected folder structure resolves the issue:

Build log:

See BTVA implementation in polyglotpkg/src/strategies/powershell.ts > createBundle.
Seems that glob patterns do not work as expected on Windows (maybe \ needs to be replaced with / in paths)
Whether the issue affects PowerShell5 polyglot actions needs to be determined.
EDIT: building on Mac produces the same ZIP file structure, needs to be verified and the expected ZIP file structure needs to be documented for all runtimes (incl. Python).
