Initialize-Module

1.1

This function ensures that specified PowerShell modules are installed, up-to-date, and imported for use.
It handles necessary prerequisites for PowerShell Gallery interaction, including:
- Setting the security protocol to TLS 1.2.
- Ensuring the NuGet package provider is available.
- Installing/updating and importing the 'Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet' module for modern gallery operations.

For each module specified by the -Name parameter, the function will:
1. Attempt to install or update it to the latest version from the PowerShell Gallery. Modules are typically installed for AllUsers.
2. Import the module into the current session.

This automates the common tasks required to make PowerShell modules ready for use.
