Update vcpkg-docs to describe new way of working with vcpkg included in visual studio #389

Description

I believe this information page is correct and working. However, it is described that vcpkg should be manually checked out and build. Since VS 2022 17.6 the vcpkg package manager can be included as an installable component which could simplify this workflow. I think it would be good to update this description to describe how to use the installable VS componend.

I agree, especially the vcpkg integrate install step, I think that one is even no longer recommended, as the recommended way nowadays (for the sake of reproducible builds) is to use CMakePresets.json and specify

"CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": {
  "value": "$env{VCPKG_ROOT}/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake",
  "type": "FILEPATH"
}

.
