BODGY:

We depend on `cpprest142*.dll`, which comes from our vcpkg dependency. As a
part of the vcpkg dependency restore, msbuild will call the `deployBinary()`
function in
`packages\vcpkg-cpprestsdk.2.10.14\scripts\BuildSystems\msbuild\AppLocal.ps1`.
That function does the actual job of copying the file. It copies it outside of
MsBuild. MsBuild then, in the `_CopyFilesMarkedCopyLocal` target, determines
that it needs to copy `cpprest142*.dll`, because that dll is a member of
`@(ReferencesCopiedInThisBuild)`. However, the file's already been copied, so
MsBuild never copies it. But that also prevents MsBuild from setting
`WroteAtLeastOneFile`, which then means that MsBuild will never create the
.CopyComplete file for this project.

Because that file is missing, MsBuild will never think the project is up to
date, and the FastUpToDate check in VS will always force MsBuild to run a pass
on this project.

To mitigate this, we're adding this other target here, which runs after
_CopyFilesMarkedCopyLocal, and always creates the CopyUpToDateMarker. This
makes the FastUpToDate check succeed.
