Description

setup.py: Install swh_ql.so alongside .py files, so it can be seen by pkg_resources

Like this:

ql_rel_paths = [
    "swh_ql.so",  # installed
    "../../query_language/swh_ql.so",  # development
]
for ql_rel_path in ql_rel_paths:
    ql_path = resource_filename("swh.search", ql_rel_path)
    if os.path.exists(ql_path):
        break
else:
    assert False, 'not found'

search_ql = Language(ql_path, "swh_search_ql")

data_files is not designed to be accessed from the same Python
package, but to write files in standard locations (typically
.desktop files in /usr/share) that other packages read with
their own discovery mechanisms.
