I observed when running a pip wheel build on a project using a setup.py
file using license_files with absolute paths referring to a superdirectory.
The resulting license files are correctly copied into the wheel but the
License-File headers still have the absolute path.
This results in a SameFileError from the shutil.copyfile function
Not sure what should be done. The License-File attribute is a future
feature in the standards track but some builders handle it correctly.
We should at least make sure it doesn't crash like this.
