function Get-BuildVariables {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Normalize build system variables

    .FUNCTIONALITY
        CI/CD

    .DESCRIPTION
        Normalize build system variables

        Each build system exposes common variables it's own unique way, if at all.
        This function was written to enable more portable builds, and
            to avoid tightly coupling your build scripts with your build system

            Gathers from:
                AppVeyor
                GitLab CI
                Jenkins

            Produces:
                ProjectPath: Project root for cloned repo
                BranchName: git branch for this build
                CommitMessage: git commit message for this build

    .PARAMETER Path
        Path to project root. Defaults to the current working path

    .NOTES
        We assume you are in the project root, for several of the fallback options
