Shall we split data in separate package?

The example data is currently provided automatically with the package
The data has 150 MB, the other files 4.2 MB
We could host the example data in a separate repository that is a julia package as well JouliaExamples

@holgerteichgraeber what do you think is the best practice?

Good point. I think it would be good practice to separate the two. However, I am not sure if at this point it would make any difference. The data is already in the git history, i.e. even if we take it out, I think that the package will still be 150MB large if you clone it from git.

Move data to CapacityExpansionData. The git is only cloned for dev, when using it as a package, git history is not downloaded.

We can continue removing the /data/ folder as soon as CapacityExpansionData is registered.
