refactor: general cleanup, messaging

Important: the changed implemented here _require_ the user
to call `project()` in "step 1", before calling any custom function,
but after defining the toolchain file.

The whole of Arduino_Core_STM32 (variant + core) is now added
automatically when the user calls build_sketch() ; they don't have to
do it themselves anymore.

Also the standard libraries have moved from stm32_runtime to base_config.
Indeed, even the files from the core depend on them.

Also, _all_ the Arduino libraries depend on base_config only (even SrcWrapper).
Additional dependencies were actually not needed.

***Moved the CMake-related files to /cmake***
-- for clarity with the remainder of the project (when using Arduino IDE)
-- Also, this prevents IDEs from building the core "standalone" when seeing a CMakeLists.txt at the root,
--   since that would be meaningless anyway.

Also improve portability by replacing backslashes with forward slashes in paths on Windows.

=======================

Change: moved the download folder away

Having the download folder along the core seemed to
cause malfunctions with some external tools (Arduino plugin on VScode).

Moving it in the user's home folder fixes this issue.

Each core installation nonetheless has its own download subfolder,
to allow different versions with different requirements to coexist.
