As reported in issue xmlrunner#284, the data_files statement in the setup() calls installs the LICENSE file in the wrong place: in /usr/LICENSE, or even /LICENSE depending on the configuration. So let's drop this, and let setuptools install the LICENSE file automatically: since setuptools v56, the license_files attribute is automatically assigned to a default value, which includes "LICENSE", so there is in fact nothing to do to the get the LICENSE file installed at the correct location.
