goose: rename to "goose-desktop" for Desktop in Extras, and add "goose" for CLI in Main #17476

Description

@ath0mas
  • Currently for goose, only extras/goose is available and installs the Desktop version of Goose, through Goose-win32-x64.zip.
  • It should also be possible to install the CLI version, based on goose-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip.
  • Merging both would be an option, but both are quite heavy apps (600 MB for Desktop, 200 MB for CLI) so better just install the expected one only.

Inspired by a similar split done for opencode, I suggest to:

  • add goose in Main for the CLI
  • rename goose to goose-desktop here in Extras for the Desktop

See the opencode PRs and comments as a reference: ScoopInstaller/Main#7524, and #16996.

Any feedback on this please?
Can I start to create the Issues and PRs on both sides?
How to deal with the renaming and/or moving the current package to deprecated, technically, and to inform the end users?
