Subject: [PATCH] Enhance YAZE project build process by configuring CMake
 targets

- Updated custom build steps in `YAZE.vcxproj` to include CMake configuration commands for asar and ImGui libraries, improving the build workflow.
- Introduced new targets for configuring CMake and building dependencies, ensuring a more organized and efficient build process.
- This change streamlines the build setup and enhances clarity in project configuration.
