Add support for workload manifests MSI generation.
The manifest MSIs are different from the workload packs in that they support upgrades. Upgrade codes are stable based on platform and the SDK feature band targeted by the manifest, e.g. x86+6.0.100 or x64 + 6.0.400. Product Codes will be changed for each build, resulting in treating the update as a major upgrade. See this for more details.
The temporary manifests in the SDK will share the same keypath as the manifests produced by the new build task. This ensures proper component reference counting. However, because the files are plain text, the non-versioned file rules will apply during install/uninstall/repair.
The versioning of the MSI will be left to the owner based on the underlying build environment.
