@rescript/runtime package

[cknitt]

This builds on @cometkim's work in #7483 to extract the runtime files from the main rescript package into a new package @rescript/runtime, resolving a part of #6183.

Removal of @rescript/std shall be done in a separate PR.

So, how would this work? I install rescript, and @rescript/runtime is installed as well?
Initial compile will do the one time compilation of the runtime?
A rescript clean never cleans the runtime?

I was expecting a package.json in packages/@rescript/runtime, don't we need that?

Yes, it's installed automatically as a dependency of the rescript package, like the bin package for the platform.

Initial compile will do the one time compilation of the runtime? A rescript clean never cleans the runtime?

No, it is precompiled like it was before, nothing changed there. Only the artifacts (lib/ocaml, lib/es6, lib/js) are moved from the rescript package to the new @rescript/runtime package.

It's there: https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/blob/runtime-package/packages/%40rescript/runtime/package.json

I see, this is more of a first step in a larger plan.
