Allow component namespaces to be autoloaded independently

Problem/Motivation

We're still following through on #1826054: [Meta] Expose Drupal Components outside of Drupal →

And we need to be able to test our components independent of Drupal core.

As a very small first step, we need to allow each component to specify it's PSR-4 autoload and autoload-dev sections per composer.json file.

We want each component to define its own namespace.

Since we're merging all of the components' composer.json files during composer install time, their autoload and autoload-dev sections can be used to generate the PSR-4 mappings for each individual component.

We don't actually need to move source files into src/ directories.

Proposed resolution

Remove the Drupal\Components\ namespace from drupal/core's autoload section.
Directly require each component in drupal/core.
Add path repos in drupal/drupal for each component, similar to the way we allow for Composer plugins now.
Eventually modify build tests so they account for these path repos. #3086644: LegacyProject composer templates wrongly reference 8.x + fix test coverage →

#3272110: Drupal 9 and 10's Drupal\Component composer.json files are totally out of date → is in, so here’s this.

This patch changes the drupal/drupal root composer.json to require drupal/core 11.x-dev, but it’s the only way I could get it to work. This might imply that we need to specify the major/minor dev branch for each branch, which could be a drag.

Have not tested but seems to have caused some test failures.
