[Bug] When scoop is first installed, the main bucket possibly does not point to the best URI

Bug Report

Current Behavior

When scoop is first installed, the user can install applications from the main bucket before issuing a scoop bucket add main command (in fact, it seems they never need to issue that command). But without issue the scoop bucket add main command, the main bucket doesn't seem to point to the ideal URI. This can be seen when a scoop update command is issued; scoop will then change the URI for the main bucket.

Expected Behavior

I think it will be best if this little bit of confusion can be avoided, because it may leave the user wondering "were my apps installed from the right source"? (If the bucket has the wrong source, then all manifests in that bucket can be wrong.)

Additional context/output

Question: When the user never invokes a scoop bucket add main command, is the correct main bucket (and thus the correct main bucket manifests) always used?

Possible Solution

Perhaps always include the ideal URI for the main bucket in scoop by default. If this isn't possible, perhaps automatically issue scoop bucket add main when scoop is installed.
