Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward

- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

### Category of the issue

Side-By-Side installation.

### Brief description of your issue

I currently have Everything version Alpha. When updating EverythingToolbar, we should be able to install only itself and not Everything alongside in addition to the Alpha version.

Currently srwi.EverythingToolbar have these dependencies:
```yaml
Dependencies:
PackageDependencies:
- PackageIdentifier: Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.8
- PackageIdentifier: voidtools.Everything
```

Could we have it to choose either `voidtools.Everything` OR `voidtoolds.Everything.Alpha`?

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install voidtools.Everything.Alpha only
2. Install srwi.Everythingtoolbar
- it installs voidtools.Everything

### Actual behavior

It should be satisfied by either voidtools.Everything or voidtools.Everything.Alpha

### Expected behavior

It install two versions of Everything

Research direction

Start with the srwi.EverythingToolbar manifest and its PackageDependencies entries for Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.8 and voidtools.Everything. Review how the manifest expresses the dependency and verify the result by reproducing the installation with voidtools.Everything.Alpha already installed; done means the stable Everything package is not installed alongside it.
