Support parsing: standalone vcpkg-configuration.json metadata #365

@mstykow

Description

@mstykow

Follow-up issue for first-class parsing/provenance support of standalone vcpkg-configuration.json files after the main vcpkg.json manifest parser lands.

Current status covered elsewhere:

  • strict JSON parsing of vcpkg.json
  • direct dependency extraction from the main manifest
  • embedded configuration support via the manifest configuration field
  • opportunistic ingestion of sibling vcpkg-configuration.json into manifest extra_data when no embedded configuration exists

Remaining work:

  • decide whether standalone vcpkg-configuration.json should produce its own package-like record or a dedicated metadata model
  • preserve registry/overlay provenance independently of vcpkg.json
  • decide whether any assembly or sibling merge model is needed for separate configuration files
