Misa 23f91005d6 Windows CI build: Ditch vcpkg
This replaces vcpkg with simply downloading the pre-compiled
dependencies from official upstream releases. The rationale is that
vcpkg is sometimes really slow to update to the latest SDL version when
it releases, and also that it requires the runner to compile SDL every
single time it's instantiated, which is slow and wasteful.

Instead, download the pre-compiled binaries of SDL from its release page
on GitHub. This way, we don't have to compile it ourselves, and we
aren't waiting on vcpkg whenever SDL releases a new version. And for
good measure, cache it so we aren't downloading it _every_ time, which
is even more efficient.

The same can't be done for SDL_mixer, though, because it doesn't have a
GitHub release page with pre-compiled binaries. Instead, we'll download
them from libsdl.org, which is an infrastructure that takes more strain
than if we used GitHub instead. But, it shouldn't matter anyways,
because we cahe this too. And we are going to ditch SDL_mixer for FAudio
in 2.4 anyways, so it's a moot point either way.
