    .SYNOPSIS
    This cmdlet generates a mapping table of releases in order of the
    release/version rather than the GA date which is what is returned from the
    VMware Configuration Maximums site when doing a comparison of releases.

    .DESCRIPTION
    When multiple releases are submitted to the compare API, the order of the
    releases that are sent back in the response is based on the GA Date of the
    release. Unfortunatley, this means that there is a situation whereby an
    earlier realease (e.g. NSX-T Data Center 2.5.2) will be ordered AFTER a
    later release (e.g. NSX-T Data Center 3.0.0). Whilst this doesn't cause an
    issue when just displaying the output, because i've written some logic to
    show new/modified/deleted limits between the earliest and latest releases in
    the retruned comparison response, the order in which the results are
    returned actually matters.

    So this cmdlet, queries the releases for the product, as they are displayed
    in the correct order, and uses that ordered list of releases from the API,
    to generate a curated ordered hashtable of releases returned in the
    comparison response. The values assigned in the ordered hashtable are the
    index values of the release in the coparison response, so that the correct
    values for the releases can be looked up and displayed in the correct order.

    .SYNOPSIS
    This cmdlet was designed to retrieve the list of products available on the
    VMware Configuration Maximums site.

    .DESCRIPTION
    Using a REST API call, this cmdlet will retrieve the complete list of
    products available on the VMware Configuration Maximums site. Each product
    that is discovered is returned as an individual object. Specifying no
    parameters will return all products. Alternativley, individual products can
    be returned by either specifying the -Id or -Name parameters.

    .PARAMETER Name
    Defines the product to return that is an exact name match.

    .PARAMETER Id
    Defines the product to return that is an exact Id match.

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CfgMaxProduct

    Retrieves all products

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CfgMaxProduct | Format-Table

    Retrieves all products and displays them all in a nice fancy table.

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CfgMaxProduct -Name 'NSX Data Center for vSphere'
    
    Retrieves a product matching the exact name provided.

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CfgMaxProduct -id 4
    
    Retrieves a product matching the Id provided.

    Compares the configuration maximum limits between different product releases
    to help identify which limits have been added, changed, removed or remain
    the same. It doesn't matter which release is provided to the -Release or
    -CompareRelease parameters, as the comparison will always be between the
    oldest and newest releases provided.

    .PARAMETER Product
    Specifies the Product object to that will be used for the comparison.

    .PARAMETER Release
    Specifies the Release object that is used as the base comparison object.

    .PARAMETER CompareReleases
    Specifies one or more Release objects to use for the comparison.

    .PARAMETER Show
    Specifies which types of limits are displayed. Default is All

    All = Displays all limits from all releases specified in the comparison.

    New = Limits which exist in the latest release specified in the comparison,
    which did not exist in the earliest release specified in the comparison.

    Modified = Limits which are different between the earliest and latest
    releases specified in the comparison.

    Deleted = Limits which exist in the earliest release specified in the
