Files: Add Scoop and Chocolatey package managers installation method

[rashil2000]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many people use package managers. It's just a part of the workflow. Adding an option to install through either Scoop or Chocolatey is extremely easy.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to install and update Files-UWP through the commandline, i.e. using a package manager, preferably Scoop or Chocolatey. I know I can install it through winget, but that package manager is still in early stages and is not widely popular.

Unfortunately it looks like Winget is the only package manager that currently supports msix installers.

@yaichenbaum They don't officially support MSIX however since they rely on PowerShell script you can actually deploy MSIX to them as a PowerShell script that installs it.

@rashil2000 @Jaiganeshkumaran Files is now available from Chocolatey https://chocolatey.org/packages/files.

@yaichenbaum I suppose that Scoop installation would be possible now too? Scoop already supports .msixbundle files.

If Files allows installation to a custom location, I can help in preparing the Scoop manifest.

@rashil2000 Feel free to take the msixbundle from the release page, we usually put the bundle up a day or two after publishing a new release.

@yaichenbaum I was making the Scoop manifest. I'm running into some missing DLL errors while using running Files.exe from the extracted msixbundle. Specifically, vcruntime140_app.dll, SharedLibrary.dll and mrt100_app.dll.

Could you reopen this? How do I proceed? Scoop relies on running that exe.

I just tested the bundle, and it seems like it works on my end, it could be you need to add those dlls manually for Scoop.
