Description

Add robust Python support to winapp CLI so developers can:
- Setup a python app to use Windows-specific functionality and APIs
- Grant debug identity to Python apps and scripts for local development
- Sparse-package Python folders for Windows
- Optionally package and sign for distribution

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing winapp CLI entry points for setup, debug identity, sparse packaging, and distribution packaging/signing, then compare how other app types are handled. Done means the CLI supports all four listed Python workflows, including optional packaging and signing.
