Document changes in default view for FileSystemInfo formatting #3665

Issue Details

PowerShell/PowerShell#8789 is removing hardlinks from the rendering of Mode in the default view. It was very expensive to check if each file also was a hard link, so by default, we now only display what can be gathered from the attributes on the FileSystemInfo.

The Mode property has the same behavior as previously, i.e. it still include the hardlink info, but the default table view, children, is using a hidden CodeProperty, ModeWithoutHardlink, to provide much faster formatting.

A new view was created, childrenWithHardlink, that displays the same information that the previous default view, children, displayed. childrenWithHardlink still uses the slow Mode CodeProperty.
