cfgov-setup

This package provides a central home for our logic for building front-end assets as part of the Python build process (for example, when generating a wheel), which has until now simply been duplicated everywhere. Open source examples:

We've also added a crucial check that allows front-end build failures to propogate up to Python. They previously ignored the result of subprocess.call and happily continued even if the frontend build failed.
