lsp-plugins: split subpkgs
Tested by me and @slimjimsoftware
This helps unclutter things. @leahneukirchen can you take a look?
why is this needed? (how is it currently "cluttered"?)
if you're going to do this, you need to make the main package depend on everything you split out to not break other people's setups
@classabbyamp desktop menus (for some desktops) get cluttered with LSP icons, there are numerous reports of this and it appears to be something to do with GNOME not following XDG standards? Anyway a quick google shows up this:

I can confirm this happens on plasma 6 too.
Apple Silicon mac support requires just the lv2 set of lsp-plugins to enable audio so rather than install the entire set, we can split into subpackages and also avoid the icon clutter
Typically, one only needs one plugin, not necessarily all of them, as well as icons etc. You can compare the clutter via xls.
If the main package depends on all the splitted ones, then what's the point? I propose an install message, similar to Alpine's one.
The plugins were split up into multiple subpackages [...] Be sure to install ones you were using.
Would this work?
I'm trying to get the devel part correct. Does it look right now?
If the main package depends on all the splitted ones, then what's the point?
to not break people's setups. we can't know which plugins people were actually using, so lsp-plugins should be treated like a metapkg
