Feature request: add proto to the scoop registry

[W1M0R]

The scoop package manager offers a convenient way to install applications on Windows systems without requiring admin privileges.

If proto can be added to the scoop registry, then it could be installed using:

scoop install proto

@milesj Here is a working proto.json Scoop application manifest:

{
  "version": "0.40.0",
  "description": "A pluggable multi-language version manager.",
  "homepage": "https://github.com/moonrepo/proto",
  "license": "MIT",
  "url": "https://github.com/moonrepo/proto/releases/download/v0.40.0/proto_cli-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip",
  "hash": "af38f2c86813a4e7b70157bdb2478f8d9b5946e1435b795bb07cababe0d24ea9",
  "bin": [ "proto.exe", "proto-shim.exe" ],
  "checkver": {
    "github": "https://github.com/moonrepo/proto"
  },
  "autoupdate": {
    "url": "https://github.com/moonrepo/proto/releases/download/v$version/proto_cli-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip"
  },
  "env_add_path": [
    "shims",
    "bin"
  ],
  "env_set": {
    "PROTO_HOME": "$dir"
  }
}

The result of scoop install:

I don't plan to officially support other install methods outside what is already supported. This feels like something the community can maintain unofficially, in the same way that homebrew is.
