Mitmproxy on the Windows Store

@mhils experimented with bringing mitmproxy to the Window Store using the Desktop Bridge. This would replace our current InstallBuilder setup and allow for clean installs and - more importantly - automatic updates.

Advantages

  • Automatic updates
  • Clean installs
  • Very simple setup on our end
  • Possibility to roll out experimental releases to a subset of users

Disadvantages

  • No support for mitmproxy. That only runs under WSL. Making WSL nicer is a complementary effort.
  • "Your developer account doesn’t have permission to submit apps converted with the Desktop Bridge at this time." (requested)
  • New releases need to be submitted manually (Submission API is in preview).

Notes

We do not want to force anyone to use this, we would of course keep our portable binaries (and, of course, WSL).
