Update vcpkg installation commands with fixed release URLs
Microsoft is removing the artifacts feature from vcpkg in July 2026 vcpkg release. This PR replaces the redirect `https://aka.ms/vcpkg-init.*` with a url pointing to the vcpkg release as of 2026-04-08 a version where the artifacts feature is still "Experimental" and not notified to be removed. https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg-tool/releases/download/2026-04-08/vcpkg-init.* This will be the mitigation until we have an alternative approach agreed with Microsoft or a replacement tool developed.
