Move some assets out of webpacker

[dacook]

What? Why?

As Maikel suggested:

• Replace rails/webpacker #10298 (comment)

I think we shouldn't need images or fonts to be loaded by webpack. This will simplify the transition away from webpack.

What should we test?

This reverts some of #7784

So similar to that, test that fonts and images load...

FYI @jibees I wanted to get a better understanding of how this all works, so decided to have a go at moving images and fonts out of webpack.

I think it's the right move. I wanted to do everything at once with PR #10652, but i'm not sure this is the way to go.
Then: thanks!!!

@dacook Should this be closed or moved out of 'in dev' and into 'tech debt prioritised'?

[dacook]

I think this is still required for #10298, but obviously I haven't been actively working on it sorry. So I will move to tech debt prioritised.

Work in progress. There are still some errors loading fonts:

No route matches [GET] "/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff"

Also conflicts to resolve.
