Improve the TIDL mechanism
Tensor decompositions of high rank integrals or integrals with many legs tend to become very large. It is not efficient to load them from text files, as this may significantly delay the loading of the package.
Instead, we should use the same mechanism as in Tarcer: The large text file is read once and then converted into a machine specific binary format. Next time FeynCalc is loaded, only the binary is picked up (which is fast).
Furthermore, we need to ship only a smaller subset of tensor decompositions with the package itself. Very large decompositions should be made available via a repository (e.g. as an add-on) so that people who need that can download them separately.
