Adding a pre-requisites module and core components

[rbotha78]

In most AEM projects we typically have multiple app modules. Adding a pre-requisites module that contains sub-packages and embedded bundles is a way of keeping the application code away from the third-party embeds.

A good example is the Netcentric ACL tool where it installs a hook that needs to be called to apply ACLs. If this hook is not yet installed when the app package installs, the app package installation fails and requires a re-run of the package install.

Also adding core components as an option and updating the ACS AEM commons version.

I like this idea, but should it be an option to create it?

Hmmm. If it's an option and the user choose no, then fall back to ui.apps? Yeah, I guess. If you want a super simple setup, that makes sense.
