This allows separating runtime and development packages to cut the dependency
tree. Note that all packages would need to be created with the --runtime-pkg
option as there is no logic to store which packages has one and which one does
not. Dependencies are separated by exec_depend/build_export_depend.

The package split currently only moves the include directory as the cmake,
pkg-confg and package.xml files could be used by runtime scripts.
Also the package names are -runtime/ instead of /-dev so users get everything
in case they install the old package name.

In case you want to use this on packages.ros.org I would recommend to run
bloom-generate as part of the package build process.

The second patch adds a similar logic for test dependencies by using
test_depend only for runtime packages. Test dependencies that need development
files would need to use build_depend. This is a light redefinition of the tag
but allows to cut the dependency tree even further.
