feature: Extract parts of pkg/virtual in kcp to staging #3829
Description
Feature Description
This repo uses several packages from kcp-dev/kcp and hence requires importing it. This is however a nightmare from the maintenance standpoint because kcp is such a huge repository/dependency.
Proposed Solution
To make it easier to maintain this repo, we should check if it's possible to extract packages that are needed from this repo into a staging repository. This would make maintaining this project easier, but also would make it much easier to build external Virtual Workspaces.
We should only extract the framework and dynamic, concrete implementations of built-in Virtual Workspaces (e.g. APIExport, Replication...) should remain in the kcp repo and pkg/virtual. Packages that need to be extracted should ideally be extracted to the sdk repo and there should be no new dependencies in the SDK module.
There might be some other packages outside of pkg/virtual that are used and should be moved. contrib-filteredapiexport-vw can be used as an example what's needed outside pkg/virtual (e.g. search for "github.com/kcp-dev/kcp in the repo and check results).
