Build Improvements (#5033)
* Start rewrite, add vcpkg

* Simple vcpkg manifest, will almost certainly need tweaking

* Remove cmake ext we wont be using anymore

* Update vcpkg to no longer be from 2022, update cmake lists (wip)

* Add finds to the toplevel cmakelists

* WIP, luabind and perlbind build.  Common only partially builds.

* Fix common build.

* shared_memory compiles

* client files compile

* Tests and more cmake version updates

* World, had to swap out zlib-ng for now because it wasn't playing nicely along side the zlib install.  May revisit.

* UCS compiles now too!

* queryserv and eqlaunch

* loginserver works

* Zone works but is messy, tomorrow futher cleanup!

* Cleanup main file

* remove old zlibng, remove perlwrap, remove hc

* More cleanup

* vcpkg baseline set for CI

* Remove pkg-config, it's the suggested way to use luajit with vcpkg but it causes issues with CI and might be a pain point for windows users

* Actually add file

* Set perlbind include dir

* Perl link got lost

* PERL_SET_INTERP causes an issue on newer versions of perl on windows because a symbol is not properly exported in their API, change the lines so it's basically what it used to be

* Remove static unix linking, we dont do automated released anymore and this was tightly coupled to that.  Can explore this again if we decide to change that.

* Remove unused submodules, set cmake policy for boost

* Fix some cereal includes

* Improve some boilerplate, I'd still like to do better about getting linker stuff set.

* Going through and cleaning up the build.

* Fix world, separate out data_buckets.

* add fixes for other servers

* fix zone

* Fix client files, loginserver and tests

* Newer versions of libmariadb default to tls forced on, return to the default of not forcing that.
auto_login were breaking on linux builds
loginserver wasn't setting proper openssl compile flag

* Move set out of a giant cpp file include.

* Convert show

* convert find

* Add uuid to unix builds

* Remove some cpp includes.

* Restructure to remove more things.

* change db update manifest to header
change build yml

* Move world CLI include cpps to cmake.

* Move zone cli out of source and into cmake

* Sidecar stuff wont directly include cpp files now too.

* Fix uuid-dev missing on linux runner

* Reorg common cmake file

* Some cleanup

* Fix libsodium support (oops). Fix perl support (more oops)

* Change doc

# Guide To Building From Source Without Installer
This guide is far from exhaustive, you should expect to have some experience with building C++ code before considering compiling the code from scratch. You should instead consider using the installer scripts if you don't want to hack on the code directly.
### CMake
EQEmu uses CMake as the build system on all platforms. You will need CMake 3.20 or higher to build from source.
### Dependencies
The following libraries are required to build from source:
- uuid (unix)
The following libraries are not strictly required but in many cased recommended.
- [Perl](https://www.perl.org/ "Perl") (Required for Perl Quest Scripting)
##### Windows
If you wish to use Perl then you should use whichever version of Perl you have installed on the target system.
##### Linux
For Linux you simply can install the dependencies from your package manager, below is an example of doing it on Ubuntu using apt-get.
sudo apt-get install libperl-dev uuid-dev
### Running CMake
##### Windows
The following is a modified command our automated build server uses to run CMake via the release vcpkg export and its toolchain file.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2022 Win64" -DEQEMU_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DEQEMU_BUILD_LOGIN=ON ..
##### Linux
Similarly to Windows running CMake on Linux is simple it just uses a different generator.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DEQEMU_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DEQEMU_BUILD_LOGIN=ON ..
### Building
##### Windows
Inside the build directory a file EQEmu.sln should be produced by a successful run of the CMake command. You can either open this with Visual Studio or build it directly with MSBuild via the command line.
msbuild EQEmu.sln /p:Configuration=Release
##### Linux
From the build directory you can simply call make to build.
For example.
make -j4
