build self contained theme folder

[setop]

As of now, when building (npm run build) the theme assets (archetypes, data, i18n, images, layouts, static and theme.toml) are mixed with the content of the repo making it difficult to use it in a classic hugo project (obtain with hugo new site foo).

It there a proper way to collect these asset in a separated folder so it can be move elsewhere ?

It's not in the planning to release Doks as a submodule or module. I tried that before, but Hugo does not support a npm based theme setup (mainly the scripts part) — yet.

One reason I prefer Hugo to the other alternatives is the possibility to avoid the node_modules menace. Recently docsy-theme has switched to Go-module-based installation and I think it is the way for Hugo themes. The npm does not really fit into the whole picture in my honest opinion.
