Support a better Windows update flow #249239

@deepak1556

Description

@deepak1556

The updater client on windows https://github.com/microsoft/inno-updater has been working reliably for > 10yrs now, however there are some edge cases (OS force shutdown) that the client cannot handle in its atomic replace operations that leads to broken updates. This issue is to see if we can come up with an alternative update flow that relies on versioned package paths with inspiration from Chromium's update client https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chrome/updater/
