Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I wonder if wingetcreate.exe update option to add extra comments to the pull request description for update command.
In my workflow, pull request targeting other repository is created by my machine account (@anatawa12-bot) but I should watch the pull request so I want to mention me on the pull request.
however, wingetcreate command doesn't have any way to know pull request number programmatically so I want some option to append some custom string to the pull request message.
Proposed technical implementation details
appending text from command line option here.

Research direction
Start with the update command and the pull-request creation logic in src/WingetCreateCore/Common/GitHub.cs around the linked line. Trace how command-line options reach the PR description, then verify that the supplied custom text is appended when an update creates a pull request and that the existing description remains unchanged when it is omitted.
