Add support for rename parameter for updating/upgrading packages

WinGet CLI

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently, --rename is not recognized when using winget upgrade. The lack of this makes it such that you'll have to end up have to installing the package again and passing in --rename to rename the binary once more. By adding support for this feature, it not only does it maintain feature parity, but it also skips an additional install.

Can you please provide some specific (and reproducible) example, because I have no idea what you're talking about.
