Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
When wingetbot runs its update, there may be multiple old versions of a package. This means that the bot will make multiple PRs to add the same package. Instead, it should keep a cache of all the file hashes which it has raised a new PR for and avoid creating multiple PRs for the same file hash within the same run

Research direction
Start with the wingetbot update flow and compare the duplicate-package behavior described in pull requests 126100 and 126104. Done means one run tracks file hashes for which it raised a PR and does not create multiple PRs for the same hash.
