Structure meteor repository as git submodules

[mitar]

Structure meteor repository so that every package is in its own git repository, combined together with git submodules.

This would make forking (and integrating upstream changes) a core package much easier.

There are few packages which would really benefit from that:

• http
• accounts-ui
• mimimongo

Maybe. My experience has been that git submodules are awfully brittle. There's a reason they're not widely used.

What about an automatic sync of a package into its own read-only repository? So packages/minimongo could be synced into meteor/minimongo repository, synced on every push into main meteor repository?
