Describe the pull request
This PR allows to statically link the engine libraries, which increases executable file size, but reduces overall file size as well as some performance overhead. Keep in mind that some dependencies cannot be statically linked (e.g., the d3d12 libraries and the Vulkan loader). Also this does not statically link the CRT.
Alongside some changes to the overall build system have been made. The overlay port configuration has been removed from the CMake script into a vcpkg configuration file. Also overlay triplets have been introduced, that are used for proper library linkage setup and allow to restrict builds to only build release versions of dependencies, which should speed up CI builds.
