Pull request overview

This PR updates the documentation for Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer to clarify that the -Severity parameter filters reported rule violations after analysis completes, rather than limiting which rules are executed.

Changes:

• Clarifies that -Severity filters output only after all rules have run.
• Explicitly states -Severity does not change which rules are executed, and points to Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule for efficient rule selection.
