Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Some users have asked to simplify accepting source agreements and package agreements.
Typing "--accept-source-agreements" and "--accept-package-agreements" isn't everyone's favorite thing to do.
Note: The argument completer (tab completion) saves typing in PowerShell.
Proposed technical implementation details
Add settings for the "winget", and "msstore" source to accept agreements.
Consider how agreements for other sources and packages could be handled in settings. There are likely to be edge cases for sources that aren't configured, or settings that may have been misconfigured.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing agreement handling for the "winget" and "msstore" sources, along with the current settings entry points. Determine how settings should represent accepted source and package agreements, including unconfigured or misconfigured sources. Done means the design and implementation cover these cases without requiring the command-line flags.
