Switch from vcpkg manifest mode to classic mode and disable manifest mode by default on Windows

Remove vcpkg.json manifest file and update installation scripts to use classic mode with explicit package list. Add CMake configuration to disable manifest mode by default on Windows to ensure compatibility with all vcpkg installations, including standalone packages and Visual Studio which may not have git or baseline support.
