Add to Scoop "extras" bucket because 1: Start menu shortcut 2: easier self-updating manifest

Neat that SyncMLViewer is in WinGet. :)

Not neat that WinGet does not support adding shortcuts for portable applications yet:

But Scoop ( https://scoop.sh/ ) do. And it's more "set and forget" as the automatic manifest update functionality works like a charm. This would fit the Scoop "Extras" bucket ( https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras ) as it's a GUI application. About manifest authoring:

I could make a PR if you'd like. Awaiting your response. 😊

I believe this is a fully working Scoop manifest.

Works in my testing locally at least. 🙂
