Tests on windows should not fail, when they run in non-elevated (non admin) env #1486
Description
There is a number of tests (mostly in PackageManager) that are failing, when they run without admin priviledges. Our CI doesn't catch it, because it's run elevated. But we should have a good experience for developers: they should be able to run it locally without elevation and see clean results on the build from master.

My current proposition about it:
Mark tests that absolutely has to be admin with this tag.
Change the rest of the tests to avoid requiring admin privileges.
-ExcludeTag 'RequireAdmin'(this should be executed with down-graded elevation, for example )-Tag 'RequireAdmin'with normal admin priviledgesThoughts? cc Steve Lee (@SteveL-MSFT) James Truher (@JamesWTruher) Andy Jordan (@andschwa) Jason Shirk (@lzybkr)

Seems reasonable. Generally speaking, we shouldn't require admin for anything that doesn't require admin including running tests.
