Refresh doc/windows/package-manager/winget/ reference docs to match live CLI behavior #6441

Description

The local doc mirror at doc/windows/package-manager/winget/ has drifted significantly from the actual winget.exe CLI behavior (currently v1.30.100-preview):

  • Several command pages were missing options that exist in live --help output (e.g. install.md was missing --dependencies-only).
  • upgrade.md was especially stale, last substantively updated in 2023, missing 10+ current options.
  • 6 of the 18 top-level winget commands had no documentation page at all: pin, configure, download, repair, dscv3, and mcp (the newest command).
  • index.md's command table didn't link or list all current commands.

This PR refreshes all existing pages against live --help output and adds the 6 missing command pages, so this folder can serve as an accurate staging area for validating CLI documentation changes locally before contributing corresponding fixes upstream to Microsoft Learn.
