Description

(Proposed by @ras0219-msft @markle11m @dan-shaw @JavierMatosD)

Add a general build timeout in the vcpkg executable. Any build that is taking longer than the timeout causes vcpkg to stop so that CI has time to upload logs. The timeout should be a user setting and we can pick a value that works for our CI (the team thinks 5 hours should be OK).
