Get-WinGetManifest logic is broken around how it performs path detection

[ghost]

Brief description of your issue

When processing files in a directory, $PathChildItemsJSON and/or $PathChildItemsYAML may be null. This is not accounted for in the subsequent if/else statements that perform validation. If one or the other is null, this will fail internally because of null references. Strict mode is not enabled for these scripts, so the failure cause is not obvious to the caller:

VERBOSE: Path pointed to a directory, found 0 JSON files, and 0 YAML files.

     | Directory does not contain any combination of JSON and YAML files.

This gives the appearance of there being no YAML or JSON files, but there's actually 4 yaml files in my directory. Running again with Set-StrictMode -Version Latest shows detailed failure information:

     |                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | The variable '$ManifestFileType' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set.

This can be fixed by doing this:

                    $PathChildItemsJSON = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter "*.json" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
                    if (!$PathChildItemsJSON) {
                        $PathChildItemsJSON = @()
                    }
                    $PathChildItemsYAML = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter "*.yaml" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
                    if (!$PathChildItemsYAML) {
                        $PathChildItemsYAML = @()
                    }

Unfortunately, while fixing this works around the null reference issues, it then runs into #179 :(

Steps to reproduce

Run Add-WinGetManifest and point to a path with .yaml documents.
