Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
The Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator generates multi-file YAML manifests for individual versions of a package. This enhancement would allow the cmdlets to look at the child folders to generate a single (JSON) manifest with multiple versions per package when targeting the "package" directory.
This would also work when targeting a logical "publisher" folder to generate multiple (JSON) manifests with multiple versions per package.

Research direction
Start by locating the Get-WinGetManifest cmdlet and trace how it handles the targeted package and publisher folders. Done means package targets produce one JSON manifest containing multiple versions, while publisher targets produce multiple such manifests for packages discovered in child folders.
