move numcodecs codecs to separate repos #3783

@d-v-b

Description

@d-v-b

I propose that we migrate all of the codecs currently defined in the codecs.numcodecs module to stand-alone repositories under the zarr-developers organization. Those repos can themselves depend on numcodecs, or not. We can then decide if these codecs are worth including as optional dependencies for zarr python.

I think we should also look at removing the numcodecs dependency for our core codecs -- gzip is a python built-in, and there are blosc wheels iirc. zstandard is probably available as a backported python library? We should explore this.
