[PowerShell/Get-WinGetPackage] Cannot access `AvailableVersions` property of `CatalogPackage` objects

[jantari]

Brief description of your issue

One thing I noticed in the prerelease v1.4.3531 is that the CatalogPackage objects have an AvailableVersions property that I can't seem to access in any way:

The property

Steps to reproduce

Install winget v1.4.3531 and then run this or equivalent:

~\Downloads\Microsoft.WinGet.Client-PSModule
❯ $pkgs = Get-WinGetPackage -Source winget | Where IsUpdateAvailable

~\Downloads\Microsoft.WinGet.Client-PSModule
❯ $pkgs.Count # make sure you have at least 1 object returned to repro
32

~\Downloads\Microsoft.WinGet.Client-PSModule
❯ $pkgs[0].AvailableVersions

Expected behavior

It should return the System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList[Microsoft.Management.Deployment.PackageVersionId] value of the AvailableVersions property.

Actual behavior

It throws an exception.
