Shouid this feature also handle the scenario of when both the x86/x64(with the same id) versions of a package are installed?

Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6 (x86/x64) is good example for when this can happen, when different programs sometimes require one or the other(even though only one of them should be required right?)

The current experimental version does not seem to work for/fix this scenario.

A new parameter --versions for winget list command to display all side-by-side installed versions of a package.

Expected output:

~ winget list Microsoft.PowerShell --versions
Found PowerShell [Microsoft.PowerShell]
Version
--------
7.4.3.0
7.4.2.0

One use case, among others, is that this will help users select the version for the winget uninstall --version <Version> and offer a familiar UX as winget (search|show) --versions
