Separate Pact Python CLI and FFI

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Description

Separate the CLI and FFI into their own packages: pact-python-cli and pact-python-ffi.

Motivation

Every update of Pact Python comes bundled with binary extensions for the CLI and FFI; even if the CLI and/or FFI aren't updated. By splitting up the packages, we can update the CLI and/or FFI independently of Pact Python.

It also means that a use can download the CLI or FFI independently, thereby reducing the bloat.

The primary motivation for this is that we recently hit the initial 10GB limit for PyPI projects, and Pact Python needs to be more considerate going forward of how big updates are.

Have you tried building it?

Self-service

• I'd be willing to contribute this feature to Pact Python myself.
