Adding purl to generated SBOM #39254

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We use Black Duck for license and vulnerability scanning. I can upload a vcpkg-generated SBOM there, but it does not find any match. I am told, this is because vcpkgs SBOM are missing a purl element.

Proposed solution

Finish up this ongoing purl definition #32732 (or package-url/purl-spec#245) then add it to the generated SBOMs.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We have also contacted Synopsis. Maybe they can do something to support vcpkgs SBOMS without purl.
This suggestion (#30461) might also work, but I am not sure.
