Add an $IsAzureFunctions

[TylerLeonhardt]

Similar to $IsWindows, $IsMacOS, $IsLinux

Just a helper global variable that says whether a script is running in Azure Functions

While there's other ways to check for this in general, I agree it's low impact and low effort, no valid reason not to have it other than backlog (and unlikely but possible variable conflicts for those new to the platform)

Alternatively, if Azure Functions already exposes an Environment variable, we could possibly leave it at that.

@asavaritayal @pragnagopa and idea if this is a thing?

Was thinking about how to get that the other day. I want to test my PS code locally but emit the results to $res if I'm running as an Azure Function.

Good point @dfinke something like this could enable users to write scripts that would work locally and in Azure Functions.

Let's talk to the AzF team about adding an environment variable to the host that tells you you're in an Azure Function.

Today they rely on:

WEBSITE_INSTANCE_ID

It would probably be nice to have a more customer friendly env var.

There are a number of this including WEBSITE_INSTANCE_ID.
