Description

currently, sap.ui.core.d.ts is almost 70,000 lines long. this causes my PC to regularly slow down and my IDE often freezes when navigating to / searching for types defined in this file. it would be nice if they were split into separate files, perhaps per module

Research direction

Start by tracing how sap.ui.core.d.ts is produced and how its declarations are grouped by module. Define a file-splitting structure that preserves type resolution, then verify that navigation and search no longer depend on one nearly 70,000-line file.
