Fixed win_file crash with hidden files (#52584)

* Fixed crash with hidden files

added "-force" parameter on "Get-Item" cmdlet. this is needed to get file info if the file is "hidden" 
without this option modules like win_file, win_template, win_copy crashes on hidden files. this is because with "test-path" it sees that the file exists, but "get-item" can't get the file info. 
for more information on "-force option": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-item

* Add changelog and integration tests

* fix tests for older Windows versions
