Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the PMD and CPD CLI are implemented in pmd-core. This adds dependencies to pmd-core, which could essentially be a library on which PMD clients could rely (the CLI being only one such client).
Describe the solution you'd like
Restrict pmd-core to provide only a programmatic API. Move CLI-related classes and dependencies to a new pmd-cli module. #4059 implements this ticket.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context @jsotuyod found out that this makes implementing #2234 easier.
