+.Synopsis
+ Write-Log writes a message to a specified log file with the current time stamp.
+.DESCRIPTION
+ The Write-Log function is designed to add logging capability to other scripts.
+ In addition to writing output and/or verbose you can write to a log file for
+ later debugging.
+.NOTES

+ Modified: 11/24/2015 09:30:19 AM
+
+ Changelog:
+ * Code simplification and clarification - thanks to @juneb_get_help
+ * Added documentation.
+ * Renamed LogPath parameter to Path to keep it standard - thanks to @JeffHicks
+ * Revised the Force switch to work as it should - thanks to @JeffHicks
+
+ To Do:
+ * Add error handling if trying to create a log file in a inaccessible location.
+ * Add ability to write $Message to $Verbose or $Error pipelines to eliminate
+ duplicates.
+.PARAMETER Message
+ Message is the content that you wish to add to the log file.
+.PARAMETER Path
+ The path to the log file to which you would like to write. By default the function will
+ create the path and file if it does not exist.
+.PARAMETER Level
+ Specify the criticality of the log information being written to the log (i.e. Error, Warning, Informational)
+.PARAMETER NoClobber
+ Use NoClobber if you do not wish to overwrite an existing file.
+.EXAMPLE
+ Write-Log -Message 'Log message'
+ Writes the message to c:\Logs\PowerShellLog.log.
+.EXAMPLE
+ Write-Log -Message 'Restarting Server.' -Path c:\Logs\Scriptoutput.log
+ Writes the content to the specified log file and creates the path and file specified.
+.EXAMPLE
+ Write-Log -Message 'Folder does not exist.' -Path c:\Logs\Script.log -Level Error
+ Writes the message to the specified log file as an error message, and writes the message to the error pipeline.
