Subject: [PATCH] fix: PowerShell.Create(Runspace) has no such overload on PS
 5.1

[System.Management.Automation.PowerShell]::Create(Runspace) doesn't
exist as an overload in Windows PowerShell 5.1's System.Management.
Automation (v3.0.0.0, GAC-loaded) -- only Create(), Create(RunspaceMode),
and Create(InitialSessionState) are available there. Calling it with a
Runspace argument throws:

  MethodException: Cannot find an overload for "Create" and the
  argument count: "1".

Split into Create() followed by assigning the writable Runspace
property instead, which works on both PS 5.1 and 7+.

Fixes both call sites (New-KoanRunspace and Invoke-Koan) plus the
test file's own use of the same broken pattern.

Verified locally: New-KoanRunspace.Tests.ps1 + Invoke-Koan.Tests.ps1
pass under both powershell.exe 5.1 and pwsh 7.
