Research direction

Start by locating the Update-WinGetPackage implementation in the PowerShell module and the existing package-update handling in the winget-cli repository. Determine how an all-packages operation should fit the current cmdlet behavior; done means Update-WinGetPackage can update all applicable packages, with coverage for the new behavior.
