Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Please, provide a winget ID that follows the LTS release chain, for those who wish to only run LTS versions of PowerShell.
Suggestion for such a winget ID would be "Microsoft.PowerShell.LTS". Which follows the same pattern used for Preview versions.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
