Move google/nearby external submodule and `gfps_service` component to separate repo
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Right now full / deep clone (recursing through all the submodules) takes a little while because the google/nearby repository is quite large / has a lot of submodules. We're actually not using much of what they've got there, and on top of it many users may not be wanting to use the gfps_service component.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Move gfps_service component to a separate repository and move the google/nearby (which is currently under espp/external/nearby) to be within that component's detail folder instead.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
Continuing to force people to fully download google/nearby just to use this repo?
Additional context.
No response
Now that we've published each component to the idf component registry with #419 / #312, and as part of that change have made the published gfps_service component no longer bundle the whole google/nearby but instead just the google/nearby/embedded subfolder, the build download is significantly smaller, removing the need for this change. Since the other repo already exists, I may update this repo accordingly, but it's no longer needed.
