Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I'd like to be able to see the list of installed packages that do not match any configured source.

This could be something like:
winget list --no-source

Research direction

Start with the existing winget list command entry point and its installed-package/source-matching behavior; the issue names no files or tests, so locate those first. Done means winget list --no-source lists installed packages that match no configured source, with coverage for the new filtering behavior.
