Splitting Craft, move the recipes to GitHub

[Hannah von Reth]

The recipes would be pulled in by a recipe so not complicated on the
usage side.

I also thought  about using multiple sources for recipes, but I guess things
could become even more complicated that way.

But what I see is, if we want to evolve Craft we need to reach out
to non KDE devs.
