Inputs duplicated for parameters with ValueFromPipeline and array

[pkaz91]

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
• Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

I have a function that supports ValueFromPipeline for an array parameter e.g.

function Get-Computer {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory,ValueFromPipeline)]
        [string[]]
        $ComputerName
    )
    Write-Output "Found $ComputerName"
}

When I use New-MarkdownCommandHelp to create help for this function, it adds two blocks under ## INPUTS:

### System.String

{{ Fill in the Description }}

### System.String[]

{{ Fill in the Description }}

Every time I update this file via the following code:

Measure-PlatyPSMarkdown -Path .\testmodule\docs\test_module\*.md | Update-MarkdownCommandHelp -Path {$_.FilePath} -NoBackup

It adds another System.String block to the top of the ## INPUTS like so:

### System.String

{{ Fill in the Description }}

Expected behavior

No additional inputs are created when I run `Update-MarkdownCommandHelp`

Actual behavior

Additional `System.String` blocks are added at the top of `## INPUTS`:

### System.String

{{ Fill in the Description }}

Interesting. The design for Update-MarkdownHelp is to not remove INPUTS or OUTPUTS that exist because an author may have added the information for cmdlets that do properly report their outputs.

But there may be a problem in the New-MarkdownCommandHelp not creating the entries properly. We need to investigate this.
