InstallerType: msi

@itzlevvie2 If you want to use .msi installers, then .exe type will be useless, as we cannot select installer type now. And if you want to use .exe, you need to remove .msi installer. And,the two type installers seems give different version numbers in ARP. At least .exe installer will show 21.02 alpha, but not 21.02.0.0.

Tag @ItzLevvie 😁
Ok so i did notice this, we might have to split them into 7zip.7zip.Alpha.msi/exe if its in a upgrade loop (That should work)
The reason the MSI is at the top is because people over at winget-cli would prefer only MSI's, however msi and exe can be in the same manifest for winget upgrade purposes

I made PRs for it: #17503 and #17502.
