Add appxmanifest to the well known file types

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently a Package.appxmanifest for a WinUI project is not processed automatically as an xml file

Describe the solution you’d like.

appxmanifest should either be added as a well known extension, or the full file name should be added so that it will follow the xml standards for conditional logic like:

<!--#if myCondition -->
  <!-- Something here... -->
<!--#endif -->

Additional context

Currently this gets treated as an unknown file type so the condition must be added like:

//#if myCondition
  <!-- My Content ... -->
//#endif
