[PATCH] ci(vs-build): stop passing the iconv library location explicitly

[PATCH] ci(vs-build): stop passing the iconv library location explicitly

[Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget]

From: Dennis Ameling <dennis@dennisameling.com>

Something changed in `vcpkg` (which we use in our Visual C++ build to
provide the dependencies such as libcurl) and our `vs-build` job started
failing in CI. The reason is that we had a work-around in place to help
CMake find iconv, and this work-around is neither needed nor does it
work anymore.

For the full discussion with the vcpkg project, see this comment:

This is probably the same breakage I've been seeing, e.g.
https://github.com/git/git/runs/1494253517

Thanks for taking care of it.

I guess we should just apply directly to 'master' (or 'maint' and
merge up), but I can queue it just like all other topics and have it
traverse through 'seen'->'next'->'master'.

Yes.

Whatever is easier for you.

Thanks,
