[ANN] Juliaup Preview - Julia version manager and Windows Store installer

The process is probably a bit too convoluted at the moment. I monitor the release channel on Slack and try to understand when things are ready in terms of official builds being available for downloads, but there are always many steps discussed there, and it is not entirely clear to me when I can start to move things on the juliaup side. But when I have the sense that things are ready, I bump a build for juliaup. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the build to finish, then I deploy it to the dev channel of juliaup itself. For that build to make it through the Windows Store infrastructure it typically takes a few hours. Once that has happened, I test whether everything works, and then I trigger the release of the build to everyone. At that point the build has to go through the Windows Store process again, and that typically also takes a few hours, although with the latest build it was more like a day.
