Split in multiple npm packages (was "Change peerDependencies to optionalDependencies")

See original GitHub issue

Edit: see comments below

So, 3 packages, and make bootstrap depend on the other 2, bootstrap-css and bootstrap-js

jQuery and Popper.js are defined as peerDependencies: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4.0.0-beta/package.json#L69

Bootstrap can be used without the JS part (think of reactstrap, React-Bootstrap, Angular UI Bootstrap, NG Bootstrap, BootstrapVue…)

~~Suggestion: switch to optionalDependencies so there is no warning when not installing jQuery and Popper.js.~~

$ yarn
...
warning "bootstrap@4.0.0-beta" has unmet peer dependency "jquery@>=3.0.0".
warning "bootstrap@4.0.0-beta" has unmet peer dependency "popper.js@^1.11.0".

The intent of the issue is to split into multiple NPM packages, not to split the actual repo. Splitting the repo just came up as one approach to splitting the NPM package so I think it makes sense to leave this open.
