I have updated the links to include the latest stable release from
the winget package repository:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/v/vim/vim/

Note: there will be new stable releases at the winget repository
approximately all 100 minor patch numbers. So expect there to be a new
releases within the next weeks.

Thanks,
