Split up .install files for schema, requirements and hook_update_N

Problem/Motivation

I'm not sure about moving functions out of .module files, that tends to be quite a small trade-off with an opcode cache and has to be manually reviewed for every module.

However... one thing in Drupal 7 that does take a lot of memory is loading .install files, and that hasn't changed much in 8.0.x.

Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

Thanks!
