doc: build: Fix instructions for msvc gui builds
If the instructions are followed as-is, and "Developer (PowerShell|Command Prompt) for VS 2022" is used to execute the suggested build commands, the root directory of vcpkg (e.g. in VS 2022 Community edition: `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\vcpkg`), is too long, and when vcpkg attempts to build any of the QT packages, it will fail because of build steps that require path lengths greater than Windows' `MAX_PATH` 260 character limit. This can be avoided without needing to move the vcpkg root dir by setting `--x-buildtrees-root` to a short path, like `C:\vcpkg`.
