Separate Core and Command-line into separate package

[mtangoo]

Currently when you install Gii, it installs a lot of dependencies,
like view. In many cases it might be okay, but in some cases like in API, these dependencies are not desirable. It would be nice if you could only use command-line with core of Gii without all these extra dependencies.

Interesting. Are you sure it installs view package? https://github.com/yiisoft/yii-gii/blob/master/composer.json#L21

[mtangoo]

Yes it did despite what is in the JSON. I don't understand the magic happening.
To test it, install the API template and then try installing Gii and see what happens!
