Make reflex-hosting-cli optional, to lower the dependency count on standalone installs

[clemlesne]

Describe the enhancement you want

It would be better as a dependency management perspective to make reflex-hosting-cli optional in the deps.

All Reflex PaaS/SaaS dependencies could go into an hosting optional dependency group, we could install with reflex[hosting].

As a context, as of v0.1.34, reflex-hosting-cli has those dependencies:

• charset-normalizer
• httpx
• platformdirs
• pydantic
• pyyaml (not shared with reflex)
• rich (not shared with reflex)
• tabulate (not shared with reflex)
• typer

ENG-4556 Make `reflex-hosting-cli` optional, to lower the dependency count on standalone installs

thanks for your report! i believe reflex does use rich, is there a different reason that it wouldn't be shared?

otherwise, we might look into it. a larger project has been taking all basic reflex features into something like reflex-core or reflex[core]. The default install would still most likely contain reflex-hosting-cli though, maybe it could be possible with an opt out.
