Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

As a user creating configuration documents,
I should be able to define the required Microsoft DSC adapters,
So I can declaratively define the required adapter.

Currently, when selecting DSC resources from the PSGallery, WinGet Studio doesn't automatically add the required adapter for dsc.exe. Whilst it isn't mandatory to do so, when running it through dsc.exe, it significantly speeds up the process when the document gets tested.

Proposed technical implementation details

Add an option to selected the required adapter.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the configuration-creation flow and the code that selects DSC resources from the PSGallery; trace how the required dsc.exe adapter could be selected. Done means users can select the required adapter while creating a configuration and the generated document includes it.
