Formula structure

[ickc]

Split off from #2, particularly this post:

Proposed structure

/packages/filters/myfilter.yaml
/packages/filters/anotherfilter.yaml
/packages/templates/sometemplate.yaml
/packages/csl/somecsl.yaml
/packages/style/somestyle.yaml

Comments:

• the root packages/ folder seems unnecessary.
• we could potentially opt for a flat structure, like homebrew-cask's.
  • For:
    • Since the info of the kind of package is in the formula
  • Against:
    • for our limited use, managing an extra folder hierarchy is simple
    • easier when browsing and editing by humans
• If we forego an index file (see formula spec #7), we probably need to clone all formulae locally, say, to $DATADIR/pandocpm.

• Agree that the packages folder seems unnecesary
• There are some disadvantages with a flat structure. EG if I click on the link you mentioned, I get "Sorry, we had to truncate this directory to 1,000 files. 2,519 entries were omitted from the list.". On top of that, there are filesystem slowdowns related with having many files in the same folder.

So let's use the proposed structure minus the root packages/ folder.
