While exploring vcpkg I realized that with Conan 2 it should be possible to actually offer both Conan and vcpkg as package managers. This MR brings support for compilation with vcpkg to the cpplib.
A GitLab CI step to test building with vcpkg was added to the pipeline.
Test Environment
Follow new build instructions to test vcpkg.
