Upgrading `pnpm.pnpm` via the exact ID does not work

[sitiom]

Brief description of your issue

Upgrading pnpm.pnpm via the exact ID does not work

Steps to reproduce

1. Install an old version of pnpm via Winget: winget install pnpm.pnpm -v 9.7.1
2. Verify an upgrade is available

> winget upgrade
Name Id        Version Available
--------------------------------
pnpm pnpm.pnpm 9.7.1   9.8.0
1 upgrades available.

3. Try installing with the exact ID:

> winget upgrade pnpm.pnpm
No installed package found matching input criteria.
> winget upgrade --id pnpm.pnpm
No installed package found matching input criteria.
> winget upgrade --id pnpm.pnpm -e
No installed package found matching input criteria.

Expected behavior

Upgrade with the exact ID (winget upgrade --id pnpm.pnpm) should work

Actual behavior

Upgrade with the exact ID (winget upgrade --id pnpm.pnpm) does not work. However, upgrading via the moniker does work:

>  winget upgrade pnpm
Found pnpm [pnpm.pnpm] Version 9.8.0

This problem seems to have been around for a while, at least the good thing is that we can eventually update pnpm via the --name option.

➜ winget list --id pnpm.pnpm

Name Id        Version Available Source
---------------------------------------
pnpm pnpm.pnpm 9.6.0   9.9.0     winget

➜ winget update --id pnpm.pnpm No installed package found matching input criteria. ➜ winget upgrade --name pnpm Found pnpm [pnpm.pnpm] Version 9.9.0 This application is licensed to you by its owner.

This seems to be in the class of problems where more than one package has an identifier with the same root:

pnpm.pnpm and pnpm.pnpm.preview both exist in the community repository.

Just left a link to powershell script, that do update by --id or by --name if first attempt fails. i have wrote a readme too. https://gist.github.com/uyriq/daef5b7b3a1f6b3e169c3298812affcc
