Windows Package Manager 1.3.1872

[ryfu-msft]

This release represents our third Windows Package Manager 1.3 release candidate build for Windows 10 (1809+), and Windows 11.

This release modifies the package manifest of AppInstaller to enable the UnvirtualizedResources capability and disables virtualizing all resources in order to support the installation of portable packages.

Experimental features have been disabled in this release. We will follow this release with another Pre-release "developer" build at GitHub so users can continue with experimental features available.

Note: The Windows Package Manager Community Repository does not accept portable applications. They will not be accepted until after 1.3 is Generally Available and has been rolled out to the majority of Windows systems via the automatic upgrade from the Microsoft Store. Users may test with local manifests.
