Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator v0.3.0 Preview

[ryfu-msft]

We're excited to announce that we've added several new features to the tool. Some of the most notable ones include creating new manifests and updating existing manifests with multiple installer urls and prompting for optional defaultLocale fields when creating a new manifest.

Regarding usage with multiple installer urls, we have noticed that some installer manifests specify an architecture that is different from what is detected in the installer binary. To handle these discrepancies, we have implemented architecture detection based on regex string matching from the installer url.

We've had a lot of great feedback and feature suggestions from the community, special thanks to @OfficialEsco, @tiziodcaio, @apetresc, @chausner for giving feedback/suggestions and helping us make the tool better!
