Macro for installing conan

[avimalka]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any reason why there is no install_conan() macro (similar to run_vcpkg() )?
Sometimes I use machines that do not have conan installed and it will be nice to have an option to install it automatically.

(If my suggestion is acceptable I already have some macro I use, And I would very much like to port it to project_options)

There is, but not documented. We should document it.

run_conan()

What I mean is installing conan - the actual command (e.g pip install conan)
It seems like run_conan() only installs conan-cmake

For installing the development tools (e,g. Conan itself), we use setup-cpp.
