Fix #421: Unsupported PowerShell LanguageMode should be reported

This change adds an additional check in the Start-EditorServices.ps1
script to see whether the LanguageMode has been locked to an unsupported
mode like ConstrainedLanguage.  The language server cannot be loaded and
used in this case so the user should be notified.
