Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator v0.4.0.3 Preview

[Ryan (ryfu-msft)]

We're excited to announce some additional new features in v0.4 of Winget-Create! This release adds a navigational menu to the New command which allows for more control when filling out optional fields for the installers. We've also added an interactive update feature which will prompt the user to manually interact and provide the installer URL they wish to update with. This should help resolve many of the failed matches with the automated update.

Special thanks to Esco (@OfficialEsco), Adrian Petrescu (@apetresc), and Vladislav Grechannik (@VlaDexa) for filing issues so we can continue making improvements!
