`winget upgrade --all` should not list upgrades it's not going to apply
Brief description of your issue
Under some circumstances, no real updates to an installed application are available.
For instance, no 32-bit update might exist for a given application.
(in my repro case, 3 applications are in that case)
In that case, winget upgrade --all should not list that updates are available for those applications.
Alternatively, a specific message should be displayed.
Steps to reproduce
Run winget upgrade --all on a 32-bit Windows machine with Git.Git version 2.39.2 installed.
Expected behavior
winget upgrade --all should not indicate that Git.Git can be upgraded to version 2.42.0.2, as there is no 32-bit version 2.42.0.2.
Actual behavior
PS❯ winget upgrade --all
Name Id Version Available Source

I found uninstalling and installing with winget solved all these packages.
I found uninstalling and installing with winget solved all these packages.
This clearly doesn't fit with my problem description: if I have Git.Git version 2.39.2 installed on 32-bit Windows, uninstalling probably would be irreversible (unless the winget source offers that version to 32-bit systems), and after reinstalling, winget upgrade would keep offering a non-applicable upgrade.
