Description

As discussed in #3481

  • remove some vtk and sld sample files
  • shrink and recompress windows icon
  • omit 3rd copy of PDF tutorials form wheel

Wheel size is down to about 111 MB with these changes... getting closer.

Works towards fixing #3481

How Has This Been Tested?

Only looking at wheel sizes - tests to look for broken links in docs and UI need to be done still

Switch links to point to github files instead
Icon file contains 1024x1024 PNG but is only a 256x256 icon, so shrink it down
to that size and also optimise the PNG compression

And yes, there are 4 duplicate copies of the icon in the git repository

Fundamentally, the files removed here are not needed in the release, so I agree this is ready. I'll test the wheel in a clean environment when I get an opportunity.

Tested the wheel in a clean environment. No issues. My only question is the removal of the five files from example_data\coordinate_data . @dehoni - is it okay to remove mag_cylinder.sld and all four of the sphere_R=*.vtk files?
