Silencing the Developer PowerShell

TL;DR

I used dnSpy to edit a CIL DLL library, Microsoft.VisualStudio.DevShell.dll to silence the banner displayed by a Developer PowerShell terminal. I also added the Developer PowerShell functionality to all my PowerShell terminals, so I can use cl.exe and clang.exe (and clang-cl.exe) from anywhere.

  3) From the instance ID of a Visual Studio installation
  4) By selecting a Visual Studio installation from a list
