Somehow warn if data_files contains absolute paths when building a wheel #577

Problem description

data_files in setuptools can be used to install files to arbitrary locations by using an absolute path as the target directory (documented here).

However, this is broken with wheels. Can bdist_wheel somehow detect that data_files has absolute target directories and raise an error instead of the packaging silently breaking?

Moved to pypa/wheel#448.
