P1 Badge Preserve PowerShell 5.1 compatibility when parsing Metadata.json

The new ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashtable call is only available in PowerShell Core (6+), but this script still declares support for "PowerShell 5.1+"; on Windows PowerShell 5.1, activating via Metadata.json will fail at parameter binding before the Graph request is sent. This creates a runtime regression specifically for 5.1 users whenever Metadata.json is present, so the JSON parsing path should avoid -AsHashtable (or gate it by PS version) to keep the documented compatibility.
