Bug Description

The guide at https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/dev/build/windows/
for creating an environment to build rustdesk on Windows should be fixed.

Building version 2021.12.01 of vcpkg on Windows, git-bash, fails with error:

Failed to download mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config-0.29.2-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

The dependency package, mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config-0.29.2-2-any.pkg.tar.zst, for vcpkg version 2021.12.01 does not exist in any of the repositories that the build process of vcpkg uses.

I was able to build vcpkg, with alternate command:
git checkout 2022.02.23 (instead of git checkout 2021.12.01 that the guide suggests.)

and eventually complete the build of rustdesk with that slightly newer version of vcpkg.

How to Reproduce

Follow the build instructions for building vcpkg
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
git checkout 2021.12.01
cd ..
vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
export VCPKG_ROOT=$PWD/vcpkg
vcpkg/vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static

Expected Behavior

Successful build of vcpkg

Operating system(s) on local side and remote side

Windows11

RustDesk Version(s) on local side and remote side
