[MGP][MSIX/APPX settings] Package type (main/modification)

The modification package is used to customize settings of the app, installed by main package. At runtime the app will get a merge of resources from both main and modification packages. For information, see MSIX modification packages on Windows 10 version 1809 and MSIX modification packages on Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18312 and later.
