vcpkg recommends using the vcpkg.cmake pre-include file for CMake projects, and prefers the new "manifest mode" when possible. I would note both of those here with external documentation links.

| ### Conan Install Instructions |

Include an up-front notice hat the package specifier is mongo-cxx-driver/<version>. More advanced Conan users will look for this information specifically. Same recommendation for the vcpkg section.

Got it. I added the following line for the Conan documentation, but since Vcpkg handles versioning entirely through git, what is your recommendation for Vcpkg?
Package Specifier: `mongo-cxx-driver/3.8.0`

For vcpkg, just the package name is enough for anyone to get started quickly. Maybe leave a note that the version may be out of date on older vcpkg versions.

I currently have a PR open with Conan to update their version to 3.8.1. I'll update the version in the instructions once it gets merged: conan-io/conan-center-index#20504
