   Purges all messages from RabbitMQ Queue.

.DESCRIPTION
    The Clear-RabbitMQQueue removes all messages from given RabbitMQ queue.

   To remove message from Queue on remote server you need to provide -HostName.

   The cmdlet is using REST Api provided by RabbitMQ Management Plugin. For more information go to: https://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html

   To support requests using default virtual host (/), the cmdlet will temporarily disable UnEscapeDotsAndSlashes flag on UriParser. For more information check get-help about_UnEsapingDotsAndSlashes.
