`--installer-type exe` filter should work with `nullsoft`, `inno` and `burn`

Description of the new feature / enhancement

This is mostly for enhancing user experience. When I give --installer-type exe for winget (install|upgrade|download|show) command, then I would expect to get an EXE based installer (ending in .exe extension). Currently, the filter works if manifest specifies only InstallerType: exe. I would expect the filter to work with different variants of EXE installers i.e., inno, nullsoft, or burn.

If multiple EXE variants are found within the same manifest, then the CLI should throw an error and ask the user to disambiguate.

Proposed technical implementation details
