Description

### What type of update are you requesting?

A new locale, architecture, or installer type of an existing version

### Current Package Identifier

Docker.DockerDesktop

### Package Version

4.74.0

### Please describe the changes you would like to see

Docker supports (and recommends) user-scope installation with the `--user` flag, but WinGet isn't configured to use this with the `--scope` parameter.

Research direction

Search the repository for the Docker.DockerDesktop package manifest and inspect its installer configuration alongside Docker’s Windows command-line installation documentation. Confirm how the existing manifest handles scope and what change represents Docker’s recommended user-scope installation; done means the manifest supports that installation mode and passes the repository’s validation checks.
