Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile docs does not say that the package will be downloaded from the URL

[LevYas]

Hi! I have a WPF app, which I package to MSIX and run functional end-to-end tests against a packaged and installed version. To install the package I used this command:

Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile .\Bin\Packages\Installer.appinstaller

The appinstaller file contains a valid URL to the update server. I added some functionality and my tests started to fail. I noticed, that the previous version was used. I reproduced it on my local machine - I downloaded the package, verified that the application files are correct, and used the command above to install it. Instead of installing the app from the downloaded package, the command downloaded a previous version from the internet.

For now, I fixed this by changing command to Add-AppxPackage ".\Bin\Packages\Installer_$Env:GitBuildVersionSimple.0_Test\Installer_$Env:GitBuildVersionSimple.0_x64.msixbundle"

(I use env variables from Nerdbank.GitVersioning)

I'm not sure whether it's the problem of docs or the Add-AppxPackage commandlet, but it would be nice to mention the current behavior difference in the docs.
