Winget windows installer #84

Description

@Kurren123

I'd like to try and create a winget installer for git-graph. Would you be open to accepting such a PR?

    @Kurren123 Sure! Although it is not clear to me what a widget installer would be.

    @mlange-42 it means windows users can use the windows package manager (winget) to install and update git-graph instead of downloading from the github releases. I'll make a start!

    Hi @mlange-42. Winget needs a url to download the raw binary (it can't handle extracting from anything other than a .zip). Do we need to compress the binaries or can we release them uncompressed? It looks like it's about 1mb compressed, 2mb uncompressed.

    Alternatively we can just remove windows from this matrix and have a separate yml file just for windows. This file can just build the windows exe, leave it uncompressed and upload it to winget.
