Use human-readable error codes when reporting out an error

[dhruvchand]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Current behavior

The winget CLI reports out an error code, like 1978335216 (from the list here https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/master/doc/windows/package-manager/winget/returnCodes.md). Customers have to either run winget error <error number/code> to understand the error code, or they have to look up the error code in the abovementioned github link.

Proposed behavior: To make it easy for customers to understand the error without additional steps, we propose adding an errorDetails field, with the human readable error detail from https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/master/doc/windows/package-manager/winget/returnCodes.md) in the cli output.
