`wingetcreate new` with path to installer #301

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently you need to provide the download URL when using wingetcreate and wait for the tool to finish downloading the installer, which can be time consuming depending on file size and internet speed. If we could also use wingetcreate new providing the file path to the downloaded installer and then providing the download URL to put in the manifest, that would be great.

Proposed technical implementation details

Ability to use the command wingetcreate new <installer filepath> with wingetcreate prompting for the download URL to add in the manifest.
