doc: move vcpkg and hunter package docs at the very end.

Neither of them really lived up to the expectations, thus distro-native
packages are still the most preferrable.

@subsection building-packages-hunter Hunter package
Starting from version 2019.01, stable releases of Magnum are available in the
[Hunter](https://hunter.readthedocs.io) CMake-driven package manager. See the
[magnum package documentation](https://hunter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages/pkg/magnum.html)
for details.
@subsection building-packages-vcpkg Vcpkg package
Magnum is available as a [Vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) package.
After setting up Vcpkg as described in their README, it is recommended to set
the "default triplet". You can do this by setting the `VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET`
variable, e.g. to `x64-windows` --- refer to the
[documentation on triplets](https://vcpkg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/triplets/#additional-remarks)
for other options.
You can then install latest stable version of Magnum with all its dependencies
like this:
@code{.bat}
vcpkg install magnum
@endcode
@m_class{m-block m-success}
@par Installing latest master
The `master` is considered stable for production use and often you may want
to prefer it over a potentially outdated tagged release. To do so, use
the `--head` option, on *both* `corrade` and `magnum`:
@par
@code{.bat}
vcpkg install --head corrade magnum
@endcode
@par
Note that `vcpkg upgrade` doesn't work well with `--head` packages (it will
go back to latest tagged version instead of updated master), you have to
remove both `corrade` and `magnum` and install `--head` again:
@par
@code{.bat}
vcpkg remove magnum --recurse
vcpkg install --head corrade magnum
@endcode
Not all features are installed by default; only those that are implicitly
enabled in @ref building-features together with @ref Platform::Sdl2Application "Sdl2Application".
To opt-in or opt-out of additional features, you can use the following syntax;
feature names are simply names of CMake `MAGNUM_WITH_*` options but lowercase,
e.g.:
@code{.bat}
vcpkg install magnum[glfwapplication,tgaimporter]
@endcode
To install all features of a package, use `*`, e.g.:
@code{.bat}
vcpkg install magnum[*]
@endcode
For more information, see the
[documentation on feature packages](https://vcpkg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specifications/feature-packages/).
Packages installed using Vcpkg can be used in Visual Studio straight away ---
all you need to do is to @cpp #include @ce the headers you want and the
buildsystem will do all needed library linking and setup behind the scenes
automatically. <em>(Cool, isn't it?)</em>
@note If Visual Studio doesn't find the packages, check its verbose output, it
might point to a mismatch of the triplet above or broken Vcpkg integration.
In order to make Magnum projects installed using Vcpkg available to CMake-based
projects, specify the Vcpkg toolchain file on the command line when invoking
CMake in a fresh build directory, for example:
@code{.bat}
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/src/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
@endcode
If you want Vcpkg to pass additional flags to CMake during installation of a
package, use the `edit` command, e.g. @cb{.bat} vcpkg edit magnum @ce, and edit
`OPTIONS` in @cmake vcpkg_configure_cmake() @ce.
There is also a Vcpkg package for @ref building-plugins-packages-vcpkg "Magnum Plugins",
@ref building-integration-packages-vcpkg "Magnum Integration" and
@ref building-extras-packages-vcpkg "Magnum Extras".
