Problem/Motivation

Themes often need to include 3rd-party libraries as dependencies such as GSAP or Splide. Currently there's no clear place for those so it's tempting to put them directly in the /libraries directory. However, doing so means these libraries will get watched and compiled alongside the theme source code. This will slow things down, create unnecessary build assets. and likely lead to Gulp errors due to missing dependencies.

Proposed resolution

Add an empty vendor directory with a Readme.md file explaining its purpose.
