Subject: [PATCH] Add AppExecutionAlias extension to the app for cmdline launch

The extensions registers an executable alias for the UWP app which
can be used from Powershell or Command Prompt to launch the app.
Additional support can be made in order to interpret command line
parameters when launching the app. This may be useful for debugging
and development.
