docusaurus: Asset in /static is duplicated in /build (with/without hash)

💥 Proposal

Docusaurus transfers all the files under static directory to root build directory. Additionally, images, PDFs linked using markdown syntax are processed (files names are suffixed with a hash) and placed under images, files etc. and these are actually linked. So there are two copies of those files. I guess this is not ideal, and probably there should be better build rules to avoid these duplicates.

However, the above is not true for every file, for example, the favicon in the doucsaurus.config.js is not given hashed filename, neither the files linked using JSX baseUrl. In this case, the website links them to the ones transferred from the static directory.
