Description of the new feature / enhancement

The Microsoft.WinGet.Client module needs to have parity with the capabilities for winget pin.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing winget pin capabilities with the Microsoft.WinGet.Client module. Then review the proposed COM refactor and define how the shared interface would provide parity; done means the new Limit-WinGetPackage capability works through the module and the CLI interface remains shared.
