Move data part of dub.platform to dub.data

[Geod24]

We want to separate the data part, which is exposed to the PackageRecipe, from the actual platform check code, which is used when building.

Note that it's exposed to PackageRecipe indirectly, through its compiler import, which I aim to remove.

[s-ludwig]

@Geod24 Can you explain that in more detail? I don't see how BuildPlatform has anything to do with "data". If anything, you might want to separate the PackageRecipe logic from the data part. What is the reasoning for getting rid of the compiler import?

[Geod24]

@s-ludwig : Sure. I want to separate everything that has to do with the PackageRecipe type definition in its own module.
That means moving dependency, buildsettings, packagerecipe to dub.data, and making sure those are (almost) leaf modules.

dub.data is not the greatest package name, I will give you that. But having the separation between data types and logic is what I am after and this will yield much cleaner code because module dependencies will be lower, and code will be easier to understand.

I hope this makes more sense ?

[s-ludwig]

In that case, I would suggest to look into moving getPlatformSettings out of packagerecipe and letting BuildPlatform where it is. It could certainly be argued that getPlatformSettings is on a level closer to Project anyway.

[Geod24]

Looking into it more, I'm not so convinced anymore that this PR was right. Can I have until year-end to complete what I am working on, and if I cannot make a compelling argument, we revert this ? I don't think it's going to take that long but I want a bit of margin.

[s-ludwig]

@Geod24 Just a reminder so that this doesn't get forgotten.
