A new version of an existing package

Please describe the changes you would like to see
The latest stable release of dolphin (https://dolphin-emu.org/download/) is nearly 7 years old by now. New releases come as a 7z file containing a PE and config files, and come out around every other month. Newer versions of dolphin (newer than the one winget is using) contain an auto-updater also.
