By default, vcpkg compiles and caches both Debug and Release configurations for every dependency specified in
vcpkg.json. Since CI pipelines and releases only require Release packages, building both doubles compilation time and consumes significant GitHub Actions cache and runner disk space (~10GB+ per runner).
This PR introduces custom overlay triplets for windows and macOS with
set(VCPKG_BUILD_TYPE release), reducing CI cache sizes by ~50% and speeding up dependency build and cache upload/download steps.
