Windows installation instruction using WinGet does not install all required dependencies

[bkhouri]

Describe the bug

The instructions on Installation via Windows Package Manager does not install all required dependencies.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Follow the step outlined on https://www.swift.org/install/windows/winget/ to install Swift on Windows using winget. A screenshot of the instructions can be found below.
2. Open Visual Studio 2022
3. Open Visual Studio 2022 built-in terminal
4. run the following

   mkdir mySwiftPackage
   cd mytest
   swift package init
   swift build

At the time of writing this issue, the page content is:

• The code block in step 2 is winget install --id Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community --exact --force --custom "--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows11SDK.22000 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64"
• The code block in step 3 is winget install --id Swift.Toolchain -e

Expected behavior

The swift build is successful, so either:

• the documentation is updated to include instructions on installing all required dependencies
• the winget install command should automatically start installation of the required dependencies

Actual behavior

The build is unsuccessful as some dependencies do not appear to be installed.

Additional context

Adding one of these solved the issue.

The default steps installed MSCV X86_64 toolchain, while I was running Windows on ARM. Adding the following components allows the build the succeed.

[dschaefer2]

I've seen those errors when building with the Swift ARM toolchain without the MSVC ARM toolchains being installed.

[compnerd]

The piece that was missing is --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.ARM64. I'm fine with adding that to the instructions, but then people might complain about installing "unnecessary" components, but this seems reasonable for enabling cross-compilation.

@compnerd or @bkhouri can you create a PR to update the instructions on the install page?
