This is the first of a few PRs that will introduce the concept of workspaces and packages.
With pixi build we want to have a distinction between:
pixi.toml as an environment manager (which it currently is), and
pixi.toml as a package build description.
These are two different use cases that we currently mix. Some keys are related to package building e.g. [host-dependencies], [build-dependencies], [build]. These only make sense in the context of building a package out of a project. When we create an environment we currently also just throw all the different dependency types on a big pile and dont really make a distinction.
So we decided to split the pixi.toml into two distinct parts (in the same file).
workspace: Renamed from project. If a pixi.toml contains a workspace it will manage environments.
package: If this key is present the package can be build into a package. It does not manage any environments.
Both [workspace] and [package] can be defined in the same file. If the [workspace] is missing a "default" one is implicitly used.
This PR
This PR only moves some files around in pixi_manifest and renamed [project] to [workspace]. [project] is still allowed but will be deprecated later.
