Summary:
When resolving package dependencies, winget previously selected only a single "latest" available package version and then attempted installer selection for that version. If that latest version lacked a compatible installer (for example, only x64/arm64 when x86 was required), dependency resolution failed immediately.
The normal install/update flows already iterate versions until they find a compatible installer; this change brings dependency resolution in line with that behavior.
