pip install library_name -t /volumes/CircuitPython/lib/ installs blinka and core modules

[askpatrickw]

No good to place to open this really, so putting in circup for discussion.

Now that all libraries are available on PyPi, you can install libraries with pip.
ex: pip install adafruit_circuitpython -t /volumes/CircuitPython/lib/

Issues with this :

1. You don't get the .mpy version
2. You also get Blinka and core modules

I believe this was done to support Thonny.
Dos Thonny also install the .py version? Does it ignore the Blinka dependencies (like circup does)?
