Winget install/show without arguments should not produce a list of all packages

[vsdaan]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

When typing winget install or winget show the CLI currently outputs a list of all packages with a mention there have been too many packages found. This floods the terminal and is not user-friendly. When no arguments are given it should default to the help message or simply a warning the user has to provide a package name.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

If installor show have no arguments, the terminal should respond with: Please provide a package name or refer to the help message of the command.

Have to agree. Now that there are so many packages, it takes forever to show a list that is usually truncated in the terminal in any case, so useless. It would be better to show help if someone writes winget install.

@theking465 great suggestion.

I found it handy to dump an exhaustive list to a text file so I could browse through the gazillions of things out there. That's how I found a bunch of applications I hadn't considered before. Will that be an option somehow in the future now that it's been removed from "winget search" as a default?

@j-mclain it's possible to browse the winget-pkgs repository. I do see a potential convenience for dumping all packages. We will have to look at what might make sense. Maybe something like winget search -s <source> --all or something like that.

winget search --query="" --source=winget allows for dumping the entire list
