Provide updated binaries via package managers for Windows #2411

The three main package managers on Windows are choco, winget and vcpkg. We should provide updated binaries via at least one of them to avoid needing to pull it manually, or build it from source. Later releases of premake have added many useful features that are not present in older versions, and more users should benefit from it.

Here is the state of premake on these package managers:

choco search premake
premake.portable 4.3.0 [Approved]
winget search premake
Name             Id                     Version   Source
---------------------------------------------------------
Premake 5 (Beta) Premake.Premake.5.Beta 5.0-beta2 winget

The package is absent from vcpkg and pipx.

Competitive build systems such as CMake, Bazel, Meson and even xmake provide frequently-updated binaries from these package managers.
