Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using native package manager for windows would be really useful

Describe the solution you'd like
Winget support for no additional 'tools' needed to be installed

Describe alternatives you've considered
Downoading the zip, making a folder and adding the exe to path manually

Additional context
Winget is supported in goreleaser and would really improve the experience for Windows users.

Hi, I had previously tried supporting winget, it might even still just be commented out, but I only run Linux and there was an error I couldn't resolve. Without a Windows machine I kinda gave up on winget. If you want to help out with that I can give it another try.

That sounds good to me. Happy to test

Oh wait, I remember now, the issue wasn't necessarily with winget as much as it was with my token to create the PR. Let me see if I can manually run it.

I think I fixed it, but I don't really have any other changes to go out right now but hopefully next release goes well.
