Apothecary alternative - ofLibs

some ideas being tested here:
individual folders for each library / target / architecture
each library change will spawn runners to create only the specific library, and add to a specific release.
so small incremental changes in one formula doesn't affect others. they will be quick to compile.

this is already working, without using any github actions for releaes, only gh command.

Almost all macOS libraries built and tested (except svgtiny / curl-openssl and cairo)
I'll be completing macOS libraries so I have a OF fork that can work consistently.
Other platforms are tested and can be done if others jump in developing and testing.

I saw of feel if ofLibs is to be an alternative to apothecary or replacement, leaning on stuff like vcpkg might make it much more maintainable.

I generally think we should be using less libraries in the core and be building less libraries ourselves :-)

It would be great if others could jump in and work on other platforms like Windows or Linux.
Each platform added will be less and less work since only the specific platform changes are needed

Recently Chalet project started supporting Meson targets which is great news for libs like Cairo
