Add vcpkg installation instructions

pcl is available as a port in vcpkg, a C++ library manager that simplifies installation for pcl and other project dependencies. Documenting the install process here will help users get started by providing a single set of commands to build pcl, ready to be included in their projects.

We also test whether our library ports build in various configurations (dynamic, static) on various platforms (OSX, Linux, Windows: x86, x64,arm,uwp) to keep a wide coverage for users.

I'm a maintainer for vcpkg, and here is what the port script looks like. We try to keep the library maintained as close as possible to the original library.

I'm trying to add vcpkg installation instructions but I couldn't find the related docs in code item.
It seems like the compiling tutorials were mentioned here.

Could you please help add the following contents to this port?

Installing and building pcl via vcpkg

You can download and install pcl using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) dependency manager:

      git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
      cd vcpkg
      ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
      ./vcpkg integrate install
      vcpkg install pcl

The pcl port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.

Thanks,
Nancy

Add information for gsoc-2021

Hey @divmadan, @tin1254, @ueqri

Could you take a look at the gsoc-2020 folder, and create PRs for adding your content on the PCL website?

TODO for me: Create a PR to add a separate GSoC page as well as change the quick link to GSoC 2021

missing links to examples

I was trying to find the correct file and this took some time, maybe it's helpfull to add the location:
pcl/doc/tutorials/content/sources/registration_api/

Website is broken (for documentation and tutorial)

The issue of old files still persists:

• https://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcd_file_format.html

This is because:

• Tutorial websites (normal and advanced) aren't integrated with PCL's pages
• We aren't using 404 to navigate intelligently
• We are serving old-old files still in documentation

Tutorials icon images ratio not respected

Add RSS feed to support announcements

PointCloudLibrary/pcl#2415 hints at a support for this. Once this is added, we can close that issue to signify migration from mailing list to discord + website + SO + Github (mailing lists did a lot of work...)
