Make H5P content libraries deployable

Problem/Motivation

The way content type libraries currently work, they are treated essentially as content (stored in the file system, and in the database.)

This makes it difficult to use them as part of a platform that might need to be deployed through a workflow, or across multiple servers.

It would be great if the libraries could optionally be placed in Drupal core's /libraries directory.

This would allow also for themes and design systems to be tested against known versions, and not have new libraries added in production without going through a normal QA process.

Proposed resolution

Add a setting that allows the module to look in /libraries instead of in the file system, and add whatever logic is necessary to have the database cache of library data updated during code deploys.

Remaining tasks

Agree on approach
Create patch to allow libraries to reside in {DRUPAL_ROOT}/libraries
Add composer.json files to each library on GitHub

Is there a screenshot of what this new change will look like for the content creator? Is there a change in UI?

I've noticed, that when we see list of libraries inside iframe in field widget, there is no icon for each library, located in web/libraries folder, because module tries to load it from sites/default folder.
So, here is the patch with the fix for this and also I've included latest changes from MR.
