Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
Interactive Upgrade: The ability to receive a list of upgradable apps, and interactively select which ones to upgrade.
Simplifies cases where I want to upgrade a subset of apps, but I also don't necessarily want to pin (#476) apps either.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
A variation of winget upgrade that accepts something like --select (or something else good, -i is already taken) that gets the same "upgradable" list, but allows you to select which packages to upgrade and then upgrades that subset. Assumes rich TTY support

Research direction
Start with the existing winget upgrade command and the code path that produces its upgradable-app list. Determine how the CLI handles rich TTY interaction, then define completion as allowing users to select a subset and upgrading only those selected packages.
