    Merge branch '1711-ci-shell-trace-variable' into 'master' · 7206effc
    Tomasz Maczukin authored
    Introduce a variable to enable shell tracing on bash, cmd.exe and powershell.exe
    
    ## What does this MR do?
    
    Allows users to enable debug tracing during builds, using `set -o xtrace`, `@echo on` and `Set-PSDebug -Trace 1`, respectively.
    
    ## Why was this MR needed?
    
    Debugging failures partway through the execution of a generated script is currently tricky, as any one of a number of commands could have failed. Enabling this feature for a failing build will ease the process considerably.
    
    ## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
    
    Should the variable have a different name?
    
    Should PSDebug be -Trace 1 or -Trace 2?
    
    Should cmd.exe explicitly set `@echo on`? I'm pretty sure it's the default
