- Removed unused gRPC and protobuf dependencies from `vcpkg.json`.
- Updated CI configuration to enable vcpkg installation for SDL2 and yaml-cpp.
- Added support for MSVC in CI workflows and improved caching strategies for vcpkg packages.
- Enhanced logging in build steps to provide better feedback on dependency status and build progress.
- Added detailed logging for vcpkg toolchain detection and gRPC target verification in `grpc_windows.cmake`.
- Updated gRPC version to v1.67.1 for improved MSVC compatibility and stability.
- Enhanced target checks for `protoc` and `grpc_cpp_plugin`, providing fallbacks and clearer error messages.
- Streamlined the export of gRPC and protobuf targets to ensure proper linking in Windows builds.
Benefits:

Benefits:
- Ensures the project leverages the latest features and fixes from vcpkg, enhancing overall stability.
- Streamlines the Windows build process by consolidating vcpkg configurations, reducing potential discrepancies during builds.
- Updated CMakeLists.txt to provide clearer logging and error messages for vcpkg integration, including detailed status reports for toolchain and triplet settings.
- Modified CI workflows to utilize manifest mode for vcpkg installations, improving dependency management and build reliability.
- Enhanced SDL2 and gRPC configurations to prioritize vcpkg packages, ensuring faster builds and clearer fallback mechanisms.
- Improved overall CMake structure for better readability and maintainability, including updated messages for build configurations and warnings.
- Updated gRPC configuration to use version 1.67.1, improving compatibility with modern compilers and fixing MSVC template issues.
- Enhanced warning messages for missing vcpkg gRPC installation, providing clearer instructions for faster builds.
- Introduced a new dungeon test harness tool to capture and dump the state of WRAM and CPU/PPU registers, aiding in emulator testing and development.
- Organized source groups in CMake for better structure and clarity in the input and UI systems.
- Added a new `grpc_windows.cmake` file for optimized gRPC builds on Windows using vcpkg, including checks for required targets and fallbacks.
- Updated `grpc.cmake` to include the new Windows-specific configuration and streamline the build process.
- Removed the `abseil-cpp` submodule from `.gitmodules` as it is no longer needed.
