Creates a nested powershell within the current instance. Nested PowerShell is used to do simple operations like checking state of a variable while another command is using the runspace.

Nested PowerShell should be invoked from the same thread as the parent PowerShell invocation thread. So effectively the parent Powershell invocation thread is blocked until nested invoke() operation is complete.

Implement PSHost.EnterNestedPrompt to perform invoke() operation on the nested powershell.
