Microsoft.Filesystem.File/Content - Froce tor create path if don't exist

Start with the Microsoft.Filesystem.File/Content resource and reproduce the YAML configuration using a nested, nonexistent Windows path such as C:\dsc\config\file-content\New\TestFile.txt. Read the resource behavior around file creation and the reported “path specified” error, then verify that the selected force behavior creates the directories and file successfully.

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Hi team,
Is a possibility to create whole folder path and structure when file shoudl be located in dedicated folder, smililar like in PowerShell with --force swith when we create New-Item, I see scenarios whe this will be reguired before servers or application be install or created

Example of config

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json

resources:

- name: Test File
  type: Microsoft.Filesystem.File/Content
  properties:
    _exist: true # This will work as force 
    path: C:\dsc\config\file-content\New\TestFile.txt
    content: "This is a test file."

or option B

$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json

resources:

- name: Test File
  type: Microsoft.Filesystem.File/Content
  properties:
    force: true # Creation file and path
    path: C:\dsc\config\file-content\New\TestFile.txt
    content: "This is a test file."

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Now when I try to create file in path that don't exist as Subfolder I got error"
