This will improve the Windows installation experience in two ways:
1. Installation assets to be decompressed before installation begins
2. Installation assets trigger less activity like to be disrupted by a virus scanner

• Make a new ./static directory
• Move {{./src/app/ {images,styles}

  }} and HTML files into ./static

• Update all image references in the app and hadron-build to point at ./static
• Update hadron-build to write ./src/compiled-less to{{./static}}
• Add ./static to the asar.upack option in hadron-build/commands/release.js (they don’t need to be packed)

Also consider updating any timing code to use lucas.hrabovsky suggestion: https://github.com/nolanlawson/marky
