wingetcreate show command

[mdanish-kh]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently if a user wants to upgrade an existing package, more often than not the user needs to find the existing manifest in the package repository and examine the number of existing installer nodes and InstallerUrls. I propose adding a wingetcreate show <PackageId> command that'll retrieve the latest manifest from the repo and display the manifest preview so that the user doesn't have to leave the winget-create CLI. The output can help the user determine the new InstallerUrls and whether the package requires any scope or arch override.

Proposed technical implementation details

Usage

wingetcreate show <PackageId> [<Options>]

Options

Options	Description
--installer-manifest	Show only the installer manifest
--locale-manifests	Show all the locale manifests only
--version-manifest	Show only the version manifest
--version	Specify the package version for which you want to display the manifest.
