Break up library into smaller libraries

[davija]

At this point, this library is HUGE as indicated elsewhere and in documentation. This library contains a LOT of things that most people won't use. This library should be broken up into a collection of smaller libraries to reduce the overall size of each library. I guess it makes sense that the large library could still be kept as-is, but it would be far better for users to be able to select just the components that re useful to them.

That's an excellent idea. Would you make a proposal on how to split up?

[Obijuan]

Great! I fully agree. In the process of breaking up the library we can also update some components to Freecad 1.0. I am not sure how to split it up, but al least there should be a collection called something like "electronic components". In there we can put all the 3D models of the components used in PCBs (very useful for using with tools like Kicad). I can be in charge of updating this collection

This is basically superseded by the work done in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Component-Management-System -- we're basically just waiting on @kkremitzki to help us getting the server set up, then it's ready for public use.
