Named 2.7.0 due to breaking changes in DAC and XESmartTarget

The Windows/Linux/Mac SqlPackages have been removed. The size of dbatools.library grew too large (like 700mb!) because previously, I used to spend ours figuring out dependencies and this delayed library releases. Now I just include everything which is what packages usually do anyway, including SqlServer.

Export-DbaPackage relies on sqlpackage and that used to be included but it added like 500MB to the library, so now you have to install it with Install-DbaSqlPackage when you need it. Works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

I also had to remove XESmartTarget commands because the the packaging changed and I didn't have time to address it. If anyone is interested in making dbatools.xesmarttarget, we're happy to host it on the dataplat org.
