Issue Description

When a variable is declared either in the begin block or statement block of a ForEach-Object pipeline, the PSScriptAnalyzer incorrectly flags it as assigned but never used.

Examples:
$Count is incorreclty flagged as assigned but never used
$myArray = @()
$myArray += "Item1"
$myArray += "Item2"
$myArray += "Item3"
$myArray += "Item4"
$myArray | ForEach-Object {$Count = 0} {$Count++; $Count}
