Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
We already have the SandboxTest.ps1 script to test manifests in the Windows Sandbox, which is super useful but currently does not integrate well with wingetcreate. I suggest to include a command in wingetcreate to perform the same more conveniently via the tool. We might even want to consider adding a prompt to the manifest creation process, asking whether to test the installation in the sandbox before submitting a PR.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
In essence, wingetcreate could do exactly the same as the SandboxTest.ps1 script, just integrated into the tool.

Research direction
Start by reading Tools/SandboxTest.ps1 and the wingetcreate manifest creation flow to identify the existing sandbox behavior and available command entry points. Define the command and whether it should be offered during manifest creation, then verify that it performs the same sandbox installation test and reports its result before submission.
