Description

🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

There are too many files and directories in the root of the directory. Let's get it cleaned up.

Limit the number of files and directories in the root of the repository

move install scripts to the build directory
move whatever lint formatting related files out of the root like clang flake8 etc to their respective areas.
Move .md files (other than readme) to the docs directory
Move profiler somewhere else
Move schema to somewhere else. Maybe build?
Move .Package.swift to extensions
Move configurations to build
Move exir somewhere else. extensions?
Get rid of the scripts directory and move the files to better places

Research direction

Start by inventorying the repository root, including the build, docs, extensions, schema, profiler, and scripts areas mentioned in the issue. Determine which root files belong in each destination and define a smaller root layout; done means the listed categories have been relocated without breaking the repository configuration or workflows.
