V4 -- Support organizing an app with PODs

[sthzg]

I borrowed the term from the Ember world, where this kind of structure was pretty common (at the time I was using it) and is supported by ember-cli:

Simply put, pods are a way of grouping files in your project by feature (ex: Task) rather than by type (ex: controllers).

• from Organize your Ember App with Pods

So an app dir might look like this

mycrm
    projects
        components
        routes
        reducers
        ...
    contacts
        components
        routes
        reducers
        ...
    shared
        components
        reducers
        ...
     client.js

As I currently refactor an app to this structure I am missing native generator support (I can create components, but I have to move them and adjust the imports).

I would like to work on an update that during installation prompts the user to choose between the default app structure (the one we have right now) or a pod structure.

There are a few ways about implementation that I have in mind, but before going ahead I'd like to make sure this would be considered a feature worth merging.

As far as the user interface is concerned, I'd plan to have a new sub generator that creates (or deletes) new pods (e.g. yo react-webpack:pod blog), as well as extending the component subgen to support a --pod=<podname> option that would create new components and their tests at the right paths.
