Suggestion : Windows Package Manager support for seamless update

Description 描述

Hello !

The update process of TidGi is a bit cumbersome - we need to go to the GitHub repo and download the software manually. I'm guessing that it's not easy to integrate an updater directly into the software, so would you consider submitting TidGi-Desktop to the Windows Package Manager (winget) repository ?

Here's the relevant doc : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package

Once it's approved windows users could simply use projects like https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate to automatically update TidGi !

The whole process can be automated with GitHub Actions and Winget Create : https://www.techwatching.dev/posts/wingetcreate

I thought uploading things to official store will require paying to the MS and Apple company, so I didn't do that. If it is free, then I will consider it.

And I personall don't use windows, and may not have time for this, I'm building https://github.com/tiddly-gittly/slate-write

Hope someone use windows can do this for TidGi oneday... Or maybe I will find time next year?

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!
