Alternate URLs are needed for packages too, not just winget sources

[R-Adrian]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

in pull request #2970 support was added for alternate URLs for some of winget's sources, but we also need support for alternate URLs for packages too.

e.g. LibreOffice and issue microsoft/winget-pkgs#99420

• the main download URLs should be on https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/ - this download repository is served via a CDN, but only contains the last 3 (or so) releases

• winget seems to have decided to (ab)use the https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/ repository because this one contains all the LibreOffice releases. The problem with this one is that the downloadarchive is NOT served via a full CDN, but most files are served directly by a single server at The Document Foundation. As a result, it is lately suffocated with download requests, to the point it has become very slow to use.

Proposed technical implementation details

It is needed some sort of "alternate url" to be able to specify for winget to use when downloading packages (LibreOffice in this sample case)

• main URL should be served from the CDN, via https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/
• and only fallback to use the other server https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/ as a last resort, when at least 2...3 attempts (or more) have failed at downloading from the main url.

Also please add support to customize the retry counter, with a default of 3 retries.

Not really winget "abusing" by using the wrong url, especially since it's a community repo and anyone could have added it
