Option to skip version generation

[autoantwort]

When I currently try to build the project I get the following error:

CMake Error at cmake/VersionFromGit.cmake:93 (message):
  [MunkeiVersionFromGit] Git tag isn't valid semantic version: [2021.05.12]
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:7 (version_from_git)

Which happens because vcpkg only downloads the source and then version_from_git detects the vcpkg git repo.
I suggest adding an option to skip the version generation, or an option to pass the version.

Ok nvm. Since this lib does not provide cmake configs installation is no necessary

@autoantwort

If there's any improvements that could be made to make this library easier to use I would be happy to know it.

For example I wouldn't mind providing CMake configurations if that would make anything easier, but not really sure what you're trying to achieve.
