Provide a standardized method of installation on Windows. #4291

Providing an installer (ideally with a basic updater) would significantly lessen the burden of evaluating new releases. Currently, .deb releases are provided, so these tools are certainly ready for installation.

The .msix, .appx, .msi, and mere .exe formats (.msix being the most desirable) are viable alternatives to the current .zip packaging. However, if maintenance of such an installer is undesirable, perhaps submitting the zip files (since this microsoft/winget-cli#140 is complete) to the official Windows Package Manager, (winget's) repository (per winget-pkgs/blob/4c9bd7f275225fa97db5300e86c2b22d2be9c720/README.md#submitting-a-package) is superior?
