Summary
Build "Update vcpkg commit to new mainline, remove portfile override"
Purpose of change
New devs setting up with vcpkg are having a hell of a time because the 'blessed' commit doesn't work with newer vcpkg binaries. Older vcpkg binaries no longer recognize new VS2022 installs. There is a range of binaries which would work, but it's unnecessarily complicated to require that. Updating simplifies the setup process by not requiring a convoluted two step checkout.
Describe the solution
Update the vcpkg commit in docs and github workflows.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Complicating the vcpkg setup further at risk of encountering even more breakages down the line.
Testing
Check out a new vcpkg commit. Build locally in debug and release modes, with llvm thin archives enabled, and fix the resulting linker errors. Validate the builds run. Sounds are not glitchy (confirmed the sdl2 release includes Qrox's remixer fix). grep for the old commit hash to ensure it's gone.
