Add winget-releaser github action for auto new releases to `SnapXL.SnapX`

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What is the feature you want?

A PR I submitted to winget-pkgs got merged so there is now a SnapXL.SnapX package. It would be great to setup a github action workflow into this repo so new SnapX releases are automatically pushed to winget. Your windows userbase can then simply

winget install SnapXL.SnapX

What does it solve?

The standard way to do it is to use winget-releaser (which uses Komac under the hood). It requires a Classic Github Personal Access Token with public_repo scope is created, following this link, then the Token can be added to the repo as a secret named WINGET_ACC_TOKEN. See below, that user also will have to fork the winget-pkgs repository.

Notes:
You will need to create a classic Personal Access Token (PAT) with public_repo scope. New fine-grained PATs aren't supported by the action.
Fork microsoft/winget-pkgs under the same account/organization as the project's repository. If you are forking winget-pkgs on a different account (e.g. bot/personal account), you can use the fork-user input to specify the username of the account where the fork is present.

Here is the standard action workflow file to do so

name: Publish release to WinGet
on:
  release:
    types: [released]
jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: vedantmgoyal9/winget-releaser@latest
        with:
          identifier: SnapXL.SnapX
          installers-regex: '\-X64\.msi'
          token: ${{ secrets.WINGET_ACC_TOKEN }}

Hello,
Thanks for creating an issue!
First off, thank you SO much for adding SnapX to winget.
Either me or Brycen (or maybe both of us) will be catering to this issue.
Thanks!

Nice to hear it's useful, Komac makes submitting a new package or an update easier and I'm used to it, plus that's whats under the hood on the winget-release github action. The workflow file is pretty easy, mostly package id and installer regex that have to be set according to your release installer filename.

Thanks! I didn't know about this program! I will be integrating this into the next release of SnapX, v0.5.0. It should have the rewrite, as most of my development work has been there. ❤️

Nice to see it got merged so quickly, fingers-crossed the action will automatically update the winget-package on 0.5.0 (and subsequent) release!
