Wiki packaging is not Yarn compatible. #100

This is probably an issue for very later, but as the Node.js ecosystem is moving over to the Yarn package manager (https://yarnpkg.com/), it may become of importance.

After running a Docker build on node:6.10.0-alpine (same as in https://github.com/fedwiki/wiki-server/issues/127) using Yarn, it has occured to me that the Wiki server cannot find its assets and replies to each request with 404.

This does not happen when installed via npm i -g wiki@0.10.3.

Any problems you are having with yarn are best raised with them - see https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues

There are certainly problems with it working well with some parts of the Node.js ecosystem - for example I use nvm to manage multiple versions of node, and tying to install a packaged globally with yarn simply does not work as it does not install in the correct place.

It is worth adding that if installing locally, rather than globally, with npm you will need to install using global-style.

The root problem is that yarn global add ... does not give the same directory structure as npm -g i ....
