It does not contain Python files but rather Javascript and CSS source files generated by webpack
but also image files and fonts. So it seems a better practice to move this folder at the root of the repository.
That diff moves the folder to the root of the repository and fixes the paths referencing it.
~~In order to generate the same distribution wheel as before, I added a little hack
in `setup.py` in order to add the static folder in the `swh/web` directory: a
symlink is created before calling the `setup` function and removed afterwards.~~
~~I do not really like that but I did not find another way to do so. ~~
**Update:** No more dirty hack, I managed to use `data_files` from `setuptools`
After this change, static assets will be deployed to `/usr/share/swh/web/static/` in production
environment so the puppet configuration will have to be updated before deployment.
