What happens when I set VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES and VCPKG_FORCE_DOWNLOADED_BINARIES?

I cannot test this for now, but I would suggest we document it as UB:

  • it makes no sense to have both
  • nobody would break anything when changing either feature (if we want one or the other takes precedence)

Maybe we should simply make this an error.

Maybe we should simply make this an error.

That would be the best solution, but requires code change in vcpkg-tool. Unfortunately I cannot work on that before a few weeks, and I'm not sure how to properly trigger an error in vcpkg-tool.
