Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
As more manifest schema versions come out, Winget-Create should still support previous manifest schema versions either when generating a new manifest or updating their existing manifest.
This may even imply having an experimental feature setting that can be turned on to try creating newer versions of a schema early.
Proposed technical implementation details
This could be set using a CLI argument like --schema and having the model used to generate the model change depending on the selected schemaVersion.
The experimental feature would require an additional field to be added to the settings schema to enable early access to newer schema versions.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating CLI argument parsing, the manifest model generation path, and the settings schema; then trace how manifests are created and updated. Done means users can select a schema version with the proposed option, while the experimental setting controls access to newer versions.
