PYMCA_DATA_DIR patching in setup.py: do not use defaultDataPath #1203

Description

@woutdenolf

The idea sounds good to me. However, I imagine it might prevent testing the code from the source directory prior to installation unless the search is modified.

If we don't install the project then setup.py does not patch PyMcaDataDir.py and we still have PYMCA_DATA_DIR = r'DATA_DIR_FROM_SETUP' which triggers the search.

I still think patching PyMcaDataDir.py with the defaultDataPath in setup.py can be removed. Hard-coding a relative path when installing/building a project is not a good idea imo.
