.SYNOPSIS
    Compare two HashTables and returns an array of differences.
.DESCRIPTION
    The Compare-HashTable function computes differences between two HashTables. Results are returned as an array of
    objects with the properties: "Key" (the name of the key for which there is a difference), "SideIndicator" (one of
    "<=", "!=" or "=>"), "ReferenceValue" an "DifferenceValue" (resp. the Reference and Difference value associated
    with the Key).
.PARAMETER ReferenceHashTable
    The HashTable used as a reference for comparison.
.PARAMETER DifferenceHashTable
    The HashTable that is compared to the reference HashTable.
.EXAMPLE
    Compare-HashTable @{ a = 1 ; b = 2 ; c = 3 } @{ b = 2 ; c = 4 ; e = 5}
    Returns a difference for ("3 <="), c (3 "!=" 4) and e ("=>" 5).
.EXAMPLE
    $ReferenceHashTable = @{ a = 1 ; b = 2 ; c = 3 ; f = $null ; g = 6 }
    $DifferenceHashTable = @{ b = 2 ; c = 4 ; e = 5 ; f = $null ; g = $null }
    Compare-HashTable $ReferenceHashTable $DifferenceHashTable
    Returns a difference for a ("3 <="), c (3 "!=" 4), e ("=>" 5) and g (6 "<=").

.SYNOPSIS
    Returns a new HashTable which is the merging of the input hash tables.
.DESCRIPTION
    Properties are not overwritten during the merge operation unless forced. Even when forced it is possible to
    provide a list of properties not to overwrite.
