Bugfix: CHANGELOG and LICENSE files are saving to the root site-packages dir

[Pete-rePete]

Overview

As the title says, CHANGELOG.md and LICENSE files are saving to the root site-packages dir. If you install all the serialization packages, these 2 files get overwritten a few times. Then when uninstalling (or running poetry update for that matter) you quickly run into FileNotFoundError errors and poetry telling you Cannot install microsoft-kiota-serialization-text or any of the other ones.

Proposed Solution

• For license, you don't even need to include it in the include, it gets detected automatically and is included within the package. (here are the files that get included automatically).
• For changelog you'd need to do a clever hack like this if you really, really want to include it in the python package. I'd recommend just not including changelog in the python package, I can't conceive a reason why the functional code would need it, so this PR omits it rather than employing any clever hacks

Related Issue

Fixes #406

Notes

• Here's a poetry github issue describing how poetry does exactly what is causing this issue (which sounds like it won't be fixed/changed)
• Here's a workaround if you really want to include some files anyway

Testing Instructions

No testing required

Thanks for creating this @Pete-rePete

Should we also be doing the same for the abstraction,authentication and bundle pacakges?

kiota-python/packages/abstractions/pyproject.toml

Line 25 in db64f96

include = ["CHANGELOG.md", "LICENSE"]
