MOF import extension

[ThomasNieto]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user I want to be able to run existing MOF config files within DSC v3.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

• MOF file parser (https://github.com/mikeclayton/Kingsland.MofParser)
• Iterate through resources instances
• Build DSC v3 config document

@SteveL-MSFT is there a public Microsoft API to do this parsing or would the Kingland.MofParser package be acceptable?

[SteveL-MSFT]

@ThomasNieto unfortunately, I'm not aware of any public API in Windows for parsing MOF. I think any import extension supporting MOF (and once you support mof, supporting configuration keyword is just executing the script to get the mof) wouldn't be something we'd want to ship with DSC, so should be available outside of DSC preferably installable via WinGet.
