From: Dennis Ameling <dennis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Our CMake configuration generates not only build definitions, but also
install definitions: After building Git using `msbuild git.sln`, the
built artifacts can be installed via `msbuild INSTALL.vcxproj`.
To specify _where_ the files should be installed, the
`-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>` option can be used when running CMake.
However, this process would really only install the files that were just
built. On Windows, we need more than that: We also need the `.dll` files
of the dependencies (such as libcurl). The `vcpkg` ecosystem, which we
use to obtain those dependencies, can be asked to install said `.dll`
files really easily, so let's do that.
This requires more than just the built `vcpkg` artifacts in the CI build
definition; We now clone the `vcpkg` repository so that the relevant
CMake scripts are available, in particular the ones related to defining
the toolchain.
