MSIX packages in GitHub releases and winget

[just1a-person]

I couldn't find MSIX packages in GitHub releases. It would be great if you could publish them. Also please include those in winget so that I can update it by:

winget upgrade powershell

Is there a specific reason you would want to manually install the msix outside of the MS Store? Side-loading requires Developer Mode (I believe) which limits it's usefulness for most users.

I don't think it requires Developer Mode. Even Terminal provides MSIX releases. and WinGet wouldn't have accepted MSIX packages if it required Developer Mode

Better install and upgrade experience for those who installed PowerShell using winget

Sorry for pinging @SteveL-MSFT

winget can already install PowerShell and it appears that the upgrade functionality isn't complete in the winget client yet, but I expect it to work with our MSI package

I installed PowerShell using this manifest.

It is not updated for newer versions.

@SteveL-MSFT I believe that the upgrade command works with only MSIX packages
