Anything else that is useful to know when adding (such as optional features the library may have that should be included)

Description

The socket.io-client-cpp is a C++11 client for Socket.IO, widely used in real-time communication applications. It's currently missing in vcpkg, and adding it would help simplify dependency management.

Justification

• Many projects use Socket.IO for WebSocket-based communication.
• Manually building this library is complex due to its dependencies (Boost, OpenSSL, etc.).
• Official vcpkg support would improve build reliability.

Expected Behavior

• The library should be installable via:

  vcpkg install socketio-client-cpp
