DAG Visualization for WinGet Configuration files

[denelon]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I'd like to have a visualization of a configuration file. I want to see the complex nature of the dependencies. This would help me understand the nature of the possible order of operations to ensure I don't create a configuration file that can't succeed.

Future Considerations include things like being able to provide the transitive reduction, but those would be other issues in my mind.

Transitive reduction may also be a function/library that could be included in WinGet if it makes sense to have utility functionality like configuration validation. Of course, C# and C++ aren't the same thing, but AI might get it right or find a library for each.

Another consideration is a scenario where a configuration file is built via composition from multiple sources, and in that case performing the transitive reduction could help with optimization and understanding for the resultant configuration.
