a406e2a7dc Quote paths using backslashes in Doxygen input
Otherwise Doxygen interprets each path component as its command and
complains about "unknown \msw command" in "build\msw" path, for example.

1a10199575 Document installing vcpkg packages for x64, too
Vcpkg defaults to installing packages for x86-windows, and from the
perspective of x64 builds, the packages installed just cannot be
found -- and the reason is not very obvious.

Having an example with commands that will install both x86 and x64 is
probably the right thing to do in this day and age -- and if somebody
only wants one and not the other, seeing a package name with architecture
specified helps with guessing how to achieve that.

Closes #22075.

77d8926126 Simplify Windows application manifests
In section "dependency" use "*" in processorArchitecture instead of specifying
the concrete architecture such as "amd64" or "x86". This allows to have just one
manifest for all architectures instead of having them for all supported architectures
individually differing in just processorArchitecture.

c777a39650 Fix appearance of "%" in wxMSW install instructions
Te changes of 74c51eaff2 (Fix formatting of wxMSW build instructions,
2021-07-13) broke the rendered output of "%WXWIN%", for some reason the
leading percent sign needs to be double to appear correctly inside the
backticks, so do it to fix this.

Closes #19260.

5a6109fdce Mention support for MSVS 2022 in the documentation
Note that this support is still incomplete, notably we don't have
*_vc17.sln files yet and the official build scripts haven't been updated
to build MSVS 2022 binaries neither.

74c51eaff2 Fix formatting of wxMSW build instructions
Using numbered lists with multiline items doesn't work in Markdown, so
remove it.

Also put the "IDE" part of the instructions before the "command line"
one, as it is probably use much more commonly.

No real changes to contents.

d1810b0dce Remove setup0.h files
Simplify things by putting setup.h files themselves under version
control and getting rid of setup0.h ones.

The initial motivation for using separate setup0.h files was to allow
having local changes to setup.h, but with Git there is a simple way to
do it by using "git update-index --skip-worktree include/wx/msw/setup.h"
for example, so we don't really need setup0.h any more and dropping them
makes things simpler.

c385676610 Prefer using https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ download link

binaries downloads from the corresponding file.

b7edb46c6a Make vcpkg MSW instructions more MSW-like

shell scripts.

2a2faa73ea Correct wx/msw/setup.h instructions in the documentation
This file doesn't need to be created initially, as it will be done
automatically during the build, but it does need to be updated whenever
setup0.h changes, so explain this in both the README-GIT.md file and the
main build instructions.

Closes #18699.

60a8ceb57c Fix more occurrences of $(variables) eaten by Doxygen
This replaces and extends the previous commit by using `$var` instead of
`$(var)` when this makes sense and using the ugly workaround for Doxygen
expanding environment variables even inside Markdown backticks elsewhere.

Also use backticks around more strings.

a5d7f95877 Preserve "$wxwin" verbatim in Doxygen output
It turns out that Doxygen expands $(VAR) into the actual value of the
VAR environment variable on the machine where it runs, which is
definitely not what we want in the instructions telling people to use
"$wxwin" in their projects, so remove the parentheses to prevent Doxygen
from expanding it.

Another alternative would be to escape "$" with a backslash, but this
would make the source markdown file uglier.

f456f52493 Add a text file to be shown after finishing wxMSW installation

be comfortably viewed in the installation wizard and also incidentally
doesn't exist any more, so add a new, short file just referring the user
to its replacement.
