Support more than one manifest per PR

[denelon]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Today in order to submit a PR for a manifest, I can only do 1 at a time. This is inefficient. I would like to be able to have the ability to submit multiple Manifests in one PR.

For example if I am adding a new application, I may have one or more older builds I want to submit. See Windows SDK for example:
17134, 17763, 19041, 18362

Or maybe I have multiple projects that release at one time like a suite, and each app would have its own manifest. I should be able to submit them all.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I expect a submission to process each manifest individually. This should be treated like a normal PR. If the full submission does not pass, it is OK to fail the submission. Similar to code. However the BOT should communicate which manifest failed an why.

If the submission passes, then all manifests should be ingested.

The initial limit will be 8 manifests per PR. We're going to increment in binary progression.

I would also like to add that if this is implemented, it should allow for both deletions and additions in the same PR. This would make moving packages to new identifiers a lot easier

We are looking to start with a maximum of 8 manifests per PR. We will need to track all of the individual validations, and report on any that fail. All manifests and packages must pass validation to be merged in.

I entirely missed the plan to increment in binary progression. I completely agree with the plan here.

Perhaps a way to remove all versions of a single package would be nice - I just had to make about 20 PRs to completely remove my app from the winget store. While this would only be 3 PRs with your new limit, its still a bit messy. Otherwise, I pretty much agree with everything else
