Subject: [PATCH] ci: retry vcpkg manifest install on transient source-download
 failures

The first WarpCache-cold run failed because x264's source tarball on
code.videolan.org refused connections (curl error 7) and vcpkg refuses
to retry that class of error. Retry the install up to three times on
every platform; vcpkg resumes from its archive/download caches.
