c3fa043 doc: build: Fix instructions for msvc gui builds (David Gumberg)
Pull request description:
If the instructions in `doc/build-windows-msvc.md` are followed as-is, and "Developer (PowerShell|Command Prompt) for VS 2022" is used to execute the suggested build commands, the root directory of vcpkg (e.g. in VS 2022 Community edition: `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\vcpkg`), is too long, and when vcpkg attempts to build any of the QT packages, it will fail because of build steps that require path lengths greater than Windows' `MAX_PATH` 260 character limit. This can be avoided without needing to move the vcpkg root dir by setting [`--x-buildtrees-root`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/commands/common-options#buildtrees-root) to a short path, like `C:\vcpkg`.
See e.g. microsoft/vcpkg#28451, microsoft/vcpkg#28083, microsoft/vcpkg#24751.
