Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

When creating packages that contain a .cab or .msixbundle file, the work of installing the files needs to be done in the script. Chocolatey CLI has support for natively installing other file types, which makes that work unnecessary for those file types.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Add support for .cab and .msixbundle file types so that that packages can be created with choco new and they can be installed using the traditional Install-ChocolateyPackage and Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage functions / cmdlets.
