Feature proposal: include string constants for the runtime download links in <WindowsAppSDK-VersionInfo.h>

Describe the bug

This isn't bug, but just a feature request.

I thought it would be great if in <WindowsAppSDK-VersionInfo.h>, or some other relevant header, you could include the download links for the Windows App Runtime as string constants. That way if we have a setup installer that downloads and installs the runtime, it will be easy to keep the download link accurate and up to date.

Right now I use a formatted string (L"https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/%d.%d/latest/windowsappruntimeinstall-%s.exe"), and then fill in the placeholders with release number and architecture, but I suspect that's not a very good way of doing things.

That is a really good idea.
