Summary

Adds a How MSIX deployment works: staging and registration concept section to msix-src/desktop/managing-your-msix-deployment-overview.md, providing the more advanced deployment explanation requested in this bug.

The new section covers the platform model described by the MSIX team in the work item:

  • Staging — placing package files under %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps, done once per machine and without a signed-in user.
  • Registration — per-user setup (app data, file type associations, Start entries), done once per user at sign-in.
  • Provisioning — stage + set the all-user registration flag + raise the event; auto-registers at each user's next sign-in; a user-uninstalled provisioned app isn't auto-reinstalled unless re-provisioned.
  • How updates reach other users — an update applied for one user propagates to every other user of the machine (typically at their next registration/sign-in).

Cross-links to Preinstalling packaged apps (provisioning tools) and App package updates (differential download). Placed at the end of the file to avoid overlapping with the still-open PR #484, which edits the intro of the same document.

Resolves AB#36938354

Add a "How MSIX deployment works: staging and registration" concept
section to the Manage your MSIX deployment overview. It describes the
platform model requested in this bug: staging (once per machine),
registration (once per user at sign-in), provisioning (stage + all-user
registration flag + event), and how an update applied for one user
propagates to every other user of the machine. Cross-links to
Preinstalling packaged apps and App package updates.
