Prestashop: Split prestashop into components and distributions

[matks]

Following Symfony example, I think it would be nice for next major version of PrestaShop to be available through Composer package manager as a set of components or a distribution.

Ideal usecase

Create components:

• prestashop/prestashop-core that contains all the Core classes
• prestashop/prestashop-frontoffice that contains the FO classes
• prestashop/prestashop-backoffice that contains the BO classes and theme
• prestashop/classic-theme that contains the Classic Theme for FO
• prestashop/prestashop-api that contains the API classes

And provide also the following packages:

• prestashop/prestashop-app-light that contains a light prestashop distribution, ready to use
• prestashop/prestashop-app-full that contains a full prestashop distribution, ready to use

Easier usecase

As the split might be very heavy to do, maybe we can first start by providing prestashop/prestashop-core and prestashop/prestashop-app-full.

prestashop/prestashop-core would be useful for modules that would require it. This would allow for example full test integration possible with CI

Could be cool to remove the unneeded prefix prestashop- which is already in prestashop/ :)

Additionnal usage: being able to use composer create-project command to create a new PS project:

php composer.phar create-project prestashop/prestashop 8.0.*

or even provide a PrestaShop installer CLI (like Symfony does) to be able to do

prestashop-cli new my_project_name

ping @MDWeb-Lille this one we discussed it yesterday 😉
