Description of the new feature/enhancement

As reported here, the winget upgrade command may incorrectly detect updates to be available even when the latest version is installed in case the version number in Add/Remove programs does not match the package version in the manifest.

One solution to this problem could be the addition of an additional version field to the manifest where the version number is specified in the format that is expected in Add/Remove programs. When present, the winget upgrade routine would use this version number instead of the package version to determine if an update is available or not.

This suggestion is closely related to microsoft/winget-pkgs#13620.
