Lucid compiler as a separate module?

[nishtahir]

I'm interested in using Lucid as a language in workflows outside of labs. Moving the ANTLR grammar, parser, and accompanying compiler sources here will facilitate this.

This will have the following advantages

• The compiler can be decoupled from the rest of the IDE allowing the compiler to be developed separately. This will make it more reusable and allow other frontends to be developed around it.
• It will make it easy for new contributors to understand the architecture of the toolchain. Allowing contributors to focus their attention on the part of the codebase that they are most interested in.

For the implementation, I don't think this requires moving the compiler into a separate repository (but there is a case that it should be its own independent project), I think it would be reasonably easy to take advantage of Gradle modules for this specific usecase.

I'd be happy to take a stab at working on this if there's interest.
