Description of the new feature / enhancement

I'd like to help users keep winget-pkgs updated.

@simonhollingshead suggested:

WinGet could detect when a user has a newer version of a package.
Similar to:

This might be a new command, or an argument (with corollary settings).

Both winget list and winget upgrade already evaluate installed packages. When the user has a newer version of a package than the community repository, winget could provide output to request a contribution.

We would certainly need a specification for the next part of the process where a user could be logically prompted and taken through an experience similar to wingetcreate update --version <version> <PackageIdentifier> where they provide the URL(s) and help keep the WinGet community repository updated.

Proposed technical implementation details
