Add additional variables for pre/post scripts

Currently there is a variable for %ProductName% which pulls the App Name, %VendorName% and %Version%. Request would be to add a variable for 'Apps & Features' name to be able to pass that information into a pre/post script for a Custom App deployment

      Hello,

      in PSADT (version 4.x), there is this object:

      $adtSession = @{
      # App variables.
      AppVendor = ''
      AppName = ''
      AppVersion = ''
      AppArch = ''
      AppLang = 'EN'
      AppRevision = '01'
      AppSuccessExitCodes = @(0)
      AppRebootExitCodes = @(1641, 3010)
      AppScriptVersion = '1.0.0'
      AppScriptDate = '2000-12-31'
      AppScriptAuthor = '<author name>'

      # Install Titles (Only set here to override defaults set by the toolkit).
      InstallName = ''
      InstallTitle = ''

      # Script variables.
      DeployAppScriptFriendlyName = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name
      DeployAppScriptVersion = '4.0.6'
      DeployAppScriptParameters = $PSBoundParameters

      }


      I would suggest making these variables available.

      I have already submitted a feature request to PSADT to include AppEdition as well.
      https://github.com/PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit/discussions/1557
      This would make it possible to distinguish between Visio Standard and Visio Professional, for example.

      Many thanks.
