Description of the new feature / enhancement

As I developer I want an automated configuration for my project so it's easier for developers to contribute.

PowerToys has a nuanced configuration required to help developers succeed when contributing new features or bug fixes. WinGet can install the tools we need, but there are some configuration parts that are missing and we need a smidge more.

I want to be able to winget configure <configuration file> or winget configure <URL to configuration file>so I can build an automated setup process and make anyone that wants to build / contribute back to PowerToys the easiest process possible.

After the process has completed, users can simply open the solution and [F5] in Visual Studio to build the solution / installer / installer installs PowerToys

Proposed technical implementation details

  1. Read a configuration file.
  2. Apply the configuration to my local environment.
