Having Desktop and Core installed breaks PackageManagement

[kfsone]

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

Having both Desktop and Core installed results in there being two versions of PackageManagement, Desktop 1.0.0.1 and Core 1.4.8.1, but Import-DscResource isn't smart enough to distinguish between editions.

I thought that perhaps it would be possible to get the version of the correct edition, but instead I'm having to hardcode 1.0.0.1 everywhere, because Import-DscResource ... -ModuleVersion has to be a constant.

Expected behavior

PS> Configuration HailMary { Import-DscResource -ModuleName PackageManagement }
PS>

Actual behavior

PS> Configuration HailMary { Import-DscResource -ModuleName PackageManagement }
ParserError:

   1 |  … uration HailMary { Import-DscResource -ModuleName PackageManagement }
     |                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
