This should shave off about 16 minutes off of our PR builds.

Let's use the pre-built vcpkg artifacts instead of building the packages
ourselves in _every_ single CI run. This saves quite a bit of time:
about 1 minute to download & unpack the artifacts vs about 17 minutes to
build them (and forcing `vs-test` and `windows-test` to wait for it).

We should probably extend vs-test to also cover arm64. Can't have that much time saved.

Scratch that. GitHub actions do not currently support ARM64 Windows.

@rimrul good find. And yes, I am aware that neither Azure Pipelines nor GitHub Actions offer Windows/ARM64 agents at the moment.

@rimrul may I take your taking time to comment as approval for this PR?

Yes.

  • less unnescessary waiting
  • fewer unnescessary differences between the VS builds for AMD64 and ARM64
  • the CI builds still pass
  • no obvious downsides

That's an improvement in my books.
