Initial draft of the winget extension

[zadjii-msft]

targets #355, which I need for improvements to messages

• The initial package load takes a long time. This is pretty much unavoidable, but we do it on cmdpal startup, so anything after about 12s should be snappy
• I cannot for the life of me get FindPackagesAsync, to be async. The call always ends up running synchronously, so I can't hook up the operation.Completed event, nor the cancellation. The action is already complete!
  • this is probably blocking, because we still end up doing a search on most keystrokes, so we only get the final results after all the intermediate ones are done.
  • Just pasting a search though? Just as snappy as you'd hope.
  • Ahahahaha it wasn't me: microsoft/winget-cli#5151
  • ✅ manually wrapping this in a BG thread made it better
• We probably shouldn't make the default action for an installed package "Uninstall".
  • Probably want to shunt over to the Settings app for the package
  • We probably want to do the thing where the second command doesn't show up if it's a separator
  • Punt? punt
• We need to add more metadata in the details for packages. We have it, if only we could show it: Implement DetailsData elements #95
  • This will be a follow-up
• This needs localization too
• I'm using the 1.10-preview of the winget com interfaces. On my framework laptop at least, the RefreshPackageCatalogAsync API isn't yet implemented, so I need to test that
• I don't think we implemented MoreCommands being observable in the host yet. We should.
  • Punted, We never actually made MoreCommands observable #360
• I probably also need to check if other APIs we're using exist or not
• I haven't tested situations that like, need you to accept a license? Installing nano and the NanoLeaf app both just work.
  • Punted?
