Release hcloud to winget #958

Description

TL;DR

hcloud cli can be already installed easily using homebrew and scoop, and winget could be another easy way to install it on Windows, especially since it comes pre-bundled nowadays

Expected behavior

Over the time, winget has matured and has become a competent package manager for windows.
Behavior of winget is different over scoop (see https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/19aqmmc/comment/kiqzbld/ and marticliment/UniGetUI#309 (comment)), but some users might prefer one over the other.
Moreover, winget is preinstalled nowadays compared to scoop that users have to install separately.

So far, I don't have scoop (and don't plan to install it), and I have been manually updating my executable of hcloud for the past months, having it installed through winget would ease this (especially when users use a GUI to update like UniGetUI).

Releasing to winget is documented here and there, and can be automated through GitHub Actions as well.
