[swift-build-dev] Make a Package depend on a submodule of another Package

As an example, the popular networking library AFNetworking <https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking> has components like 'Serialization', 'Security', 'NSURLSession' and 'UIKit' in its podspec, and users can depend on just a particular component rather than depending on full API.

Yes, we plan it. If you open a ticket we’ll use that to track the feature.
