What kind of change does this PR introduce?
New feature — adds support for the Windows Package Manager (winget) as an input source.
What is the current behavior?
Users who want to assess a winget package must manually look up the source repository and pass it via --repo. There is no --winget flag equivalent to the existing --npm, --pypi, --rubygems, and --nuget flags.
What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
A new --winget flag accepts a winget package identifier and resolves the source repository automatically by reading the package manifest from microsoft/winget-pkgs, then runs Scorecard against it.
scorecard --winget="Notepad++.Notepad++"What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
Which issue(s) this PR fixes
Fixes #5100
