PR Summary

Prior to this PR, the EOL date for 7.1 incorrectly specified May 31, 2022. Support for PowerShell versions is tied to the version of .NET they are built on. Support for .NET 5.0, which PowerShell 7.1 is built on, ends on May 8, 2022.

Additionally, the EOL date for .NET 6.0, which PowerShell 7.2 is built on, is now known to be November 8, 2024, instead of merely projected to be November 2024.

This PR corrects the date for the EOL of PowerShell 7.1 and updates the EOL date of PowerShell 7.2 to ensure clarity and accuracy of the support lifecycle.
