Change "wix" into an alias for "msi".

WinGet CLI

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Due to various legacy oddities, especially in Microsoft.Wingetcreate, the vast majority of .msi InstallerUrl-s in Winget-pkgs have the wix InstallerType when they should probably instead have the msi InstallerType.

"Wix" is also not a particularly widely known term among commoners, whereas MSI is somewhat widely known; which will likely cause some minor issues if they ran winget (install|show) (...) --installer-type msi and have it show 0 results.

Proposed technical implementation details

Change wix from being its own InstallerType, to having it be an alias of msi.

the vast majority of .msi InstallerUrl-s in Winget-pkgs have the wix InstallerType when they should probably instead have the msi InstallerType.

It's actually the opposite. Wix is a more specific type and WinGet knows how to handle the default silent switches for Wix.

I do agree though, that it is confusing to have to specify wix when really for the purposes of show / install / upgrade a wix installer IS an MSI installer
