[External Tools] Enable adding an external tool from State Repo and from Uninstall regkeys #3078
Description
Suggested new feature or improvement
Right now, we only support adding an external tool by its executable path.
We should add the ability to register Store-based tools also, including:
- Use Packaging APIs to get a list of all installed MSIX packages.
- Provide UI for the user to select from that list.
- Once registered, support invoking the tool via its AUMID.
Ideally, we'd provide just one list that includes all apps listed in the AppList and/or Settings|Apps|Installed Apps, which would include both MSIX and non-MSIX installed apps.
We still need the "search by filesystem path" feature, to allow for xcopy-deployed apps.
Scenario
Right now we only support adding tools via filesystem path, which is not sufficient.
