Vcpkg: Option to remove package from all triplets

Currently it requires a manually specified triplet. And, for 7 current triplets, it is a bit unconvenient way to remove package from all installed builds.

How about wildcards?
./vcpkg remove boost:* <- does what @pravic asked
./vcpkg install zlib:*-windows <- installs zlib:x86-windows and zlib:x64-windows

And an automatic "upgrade" that remembers which packages for which triplets were installed/built - removed - and need to be rebuilt 馃槃

Nice, it is even much better than just vcpkg remove --all.
I suppose that wildcards are not implemented yet?

Yeah, that was just an idea. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough
