Publish nightingale in winget

[electronic-dk]

Microsoft has announced a package manager for windows: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-package-manager-preview/

It would be cool to have Nightingale published in this package management solution.

The packages should be submitted here
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

I'll investigate this soon. Looks like one option is that winget adds the ability to install store apps. As I do more research, please give a thumbs up for this issue: microsoft/winget-cli#117

Looks like the winget team is including Microsoft Store support in their v0.2 milestone due June 30th, 2020. When this lands, I will make sure to add Nightingale

The Store support feature microsoft/winget-cli#117 will likely be released initially behind a feature toggle. We will likely only support "Free" apps rated "E" for Everyone. The good news is "The Nightingale REST API Client" meets these initial limitations.

winget search nightingale will display the Microsoft Store version of Nightingale (if you have the experimental feature enabled).

winget install "Nightingale REST Client" will install it by name
winget install 43891JeniusApps.NightingaleRESTAPIClient will install it by ID

Just tested out the experimental feature and it works great! Thanks @denelon!! I also created this doc for users who want to install Nightingale via winget: https://github.com/jenius-apps/nightingale-rest-api-client/blob/master/docs/winget.md

@electronic-dk thoughts on keeping this open until this feature leaves the experiment phase of winget?

@dpaulino I'm cool with that. Thanks for the update, I'll try to install nightingale via winget soon.
