CMake build error - embedded submodule link is still pointing to an older commit of vcpkg

Hi, I wanted to reach out regarding an issue I encountered while following the instructions to build OpenTelemetry-Cpp using CMake.

In particular, I faced a hiccup at step 2 of the instructions when running the "cmake .." command. It seems that the process attempts to download the mingw-w64-i686-libwinpthread-git-9.0.0.6373.5be8fcd83-1-any.pkg.tar.zst package from this link and encounters a 404 error. Even when attempting to open the link directly in the browser, I observe the same error message.

Upon investigating further, I discovered a message in the error suggesting reporting the issue to the vcpkg repository if the problem persists after attempting a direct download. So, I opened an issue on the vcpkg repository (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/35516#issuecomment-1843402590), and one of the contributors kindly explained that the OpenTelemetry-Cpp repository's embedded submodule link is pointing to an older commit of vcpkg. This older commit lacks the necessary msys2/mingw patches, causing the issue.

The suggested solution from the vcpkg contributors was to open a ticket with the OpenTelemetry-Cpp repository to request an update to the embedded submodule link and a reset of the baseline to include the versions required by OpenTelemetry-Cpp. I've attached the CMAKE error and output logs here as well for reference.
