Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Sometimes I run `npm i @microsoft/winappcli` in my Node project, but then I forget I still need to:
1. Run `npx winapp init`
2. Add `winapp restore` to my package.json's postinstall
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Can we have this happen automatically when I install winappcli to my Node project?

Research direction
The issue names the npm install flow, npx winapp init, winapp restore, and package.json; begin by locating the WinAppCLI install and init entry points and the package metadata. Define the desired post-install behavior, including how package.json is changed, then verify a fresh Node app install performs initialization and adds the postinstall command without repeating or overwriting user configuration.
