Description

Currently the supported on information of the policies show a Windows version. This makes no sense as the policy usability is based on the installed winget version and not the os version.

Better: Use the winget version that has implemented the policy for the first time.

Research direction

Review the ADMX/GPO policy definitions and the generation path for their SupportedOn information; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Determine how the first winget version implementing each policy is recorded, then verify that generated policy metadata reports that version instead of a Windows version.
