WinGet integration

Maybe the SDB2 package (including the custom-packed JRE) should be made available in the community repository of the Windows package manager.

This only makes sense if it's possible to update the installations easily, maybe even in an automatic fashion. It's also a prerequisite for going into this direction that any subsequent release (which is built automatically) doesn't need any manual steps to become available for installation and/or update.

Maybe WinGet is not ready for SDB yet, in the readme it states:

At this time installers must either be MSIX, MSI or .exe application installers. Standalone or portable executables, compressed .zip files, and fonts are not currently supported.

SDB2 is currently packaged as ZIP which only has to be extracted somewhere, so we may have to wait until WinGet supports this distribution method.

After more than one year, it still can't work with archives it simply has to extract somewhere. 🙄
