[vcpkg manifest] Add documentation! (#13488 )

* [vcpkg docs] add docs for manifest files

These are just for the maintainer docs,
not user docs.

* [vcpkg] EBNF-ify platform expression parsing

this modifies nothing about what strings are accepted or rejected,
it just moves stuff around.

also adds tests.

* [vcpkg docs] add manifest mode example

* [wip] docs for augustin

also fix tabs

* [vcpkg manifest] switch to using maps for features

* Apply suggestions from code review

* un-experimentize format-manifest

* flesh out the user manifest mode docs

* CRs

* billy CRs

* final personal pass-thru

Patching Example: Patching libpng to work for x64-uwp

Initial error logs

First, try building:

Next, looking at the above logs (build-...-out.log and build-...-err.log).

Identify the problematic code

Taking a look at MSDN shows that ExitProcess is only available for desktop apps. Additionally, it's useful to see the surrounding context:

/* buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf\pngerror.c:769 */
    /* If control reaches this point, png_longjmp() must not return. The only
    * choice is to terminate the whole process (or maybe the thread); to do
    * this the ANSI-C abort() function is used unless a different method is
    * implemented by overriding the default configuration setting for
    * PNG_ABORT().
    */
    PNG_ABORT();

A recursive search for PNG_ABORT reveals the definition:

PS D:\src\vcpkg\buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf> findstr /snipl "PNG_ABORT" *
CHANGES:701:  Added PNG_SETJMP_SUPPORTED, PNG_SETJMP_NOT_SUPPORTED, and PNG_ABORT() macros
libpng-manual.txt:432:errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
libpng-manual.txt:434:You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
libpng-manual.txt:2753:errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
libpng-manual.txt:2755:You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something

libpng.3:3263:errors will result in a call to PNG_ABORT() which defaults to abort().
libpng.3:3265:You can #define PNG_ABORT() to a function that does something
libpng.3:4736:PNG_NO_SETJMP, in which case it is handled via PNG_ABORT()),
png.h:994: * will use it; otherwise it will call PNG_ABORT().  This function was
pngerror.c:773:    * PNG_ABORT().
pngerror.c:775:   PNG_ABORT();
pngpriv.h:459:#ifndef PNG_ABORT
pngpriv.h:461:#    define PNG_ABORT() ExitProcess(0)
pngpriv.h:463:#    define PNG_ABORT() abort()

This already gives us some great clues, but the full definition tells the complete story.

/* buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf\pngpriv.h:459 */
#ifndef PNG_ABORT
#  ifdef _WINDOWS_
#    define PNG_ABORT() ExitProcess(0)
#  else
#    define PNG_ABORT() abort()
#  endif
#endif

abort() is a standard CRT call and certainly available in UWP, so we just need to convince libpng to be more platform agnostic. The easiest and most reliable way to achieve this is to patch the code; while in this particular case we could pass in a compiler flag to override PNG_ABORT because this is a private header, in general it is more reliable to avoid adding more required compiler switches when possible (especially when it isn't already exposed as a CMake option).

Patching the code to improve compatibility

We recommend using git to create the patch file, since you'll already have it installed.

PS D:\src\vcpkg\buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf> git init .
Initialized empty Git repository in D:/src/vcpkg/buildtrees/libpng/src/v1.6.37-c993153cdf/.git/

PS D:\src\vcpkg\buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf> git add .
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in ANNOUNCE.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
...

PS D:\src\vcpkg\buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf> git commit -m "temp"
[master (root-commit) 68f253f] temp
 422 files changed, 167717 insertions(+)
...

Now we can modify pngpriv.h to use abort() everywhere.

/* buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf\pngpriv.h:459 */
#ifndef PNG_ABORT
#  define PNG_ABORT() abort()
#endif

The output of git diff is already in patch format, so we just need to save the patch into the ports/libpng directory.

PS buildtrees\libpng\src\v1.6.37-c993153cdf> git diff --ignore-space-at-eol | out-file -enc ascii ..\..\..\..\ports\libpng\use-abort-on-all-platforms.patch

Finally, we need to apply the patch after extracting the source.

# ports\libpng\portfile.cmake
...
vcpkg_extract_source_archive_ex(
  OUT_SOURCE_PATH SOURCE_PATH
  ARCHIVE ${ARCHIVE}
  PATCHES 
    "use-abort-on-all-platforms.patch"
)

vcpkg_configure_cmake(
...

Verification

To be completely sure this works from scratch, we need to remove the package and rebuild it:

PS D:\src\vcpkg> vcpkg remove libpng:x64-uwp
Package libpng:x64-uwp was successfully removed

Now we try a fresh, from scratch install.

PS D:\src\vcpkg> vcpkg install libpng:x64-uwp

    find_package(libpng CONFIG REQUIRED)
    target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE png)

Finally, to fully commit and publish the changes, we need to bump the port version in vcpkg.json, and add the patch file to source control, then make a Pull Request!
