Description of the new feature/enhancement

There are some packages, for example, all versions of Microsoft.VC++xxxx-xxx, are distributed as a bundle. They report their GUID in packagecache directory in winget list as productcode. Now winget upgrade is unable to list Microsoft.VC++2015-2019-xxx as upgradable when there is an updated version in winget source. So, a new feature for querying this key is needed.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Winget should also query GUID in BundleCachePath in registry when winget upgrade is execuated, and a bundled exe package like Microsoft.VC++xxxx-xxx need to provide it as product code, either manually or by automated process.

The GUID can be checked at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{bundle guid}\BundleCachePath
