Copy build files to build/desktop instead of desktop/build/outputs

[provokateurin]

All other platforms copy their build files to build/platform. Hover copies them to desktop/build/outputs.
They should be under build/desktop.

We are considering changing directory named created by hover from desktop to go, #209.
We aren't part of the flutter team, so I don't like to interfere too much with the current directory layout.

That been said, the build directory is ignored in the .gitignore file, copying hover build files to build/go shouldn't cause any issue. It is also better for cleaning because flutter clean will delete the files created by hover

See go-flutter-desktop/hover#14

FYI, there are ongoing changes to the way build artifacts are handled (e.g., intermediate files are in some cases being moved to .dart_tool). If the goal is to be consistent with the way flutter builds are managed, be aware that that's a moving target.

Longer term, flutter/flutter#25377 should hopefully be the solution for things like this. There's ongoing discussion about making flutter extensible in ways that would allow a lot of what is currently hover to become a plugin to flutter instead. Then build output for all platforms, officially supported or not, could be managed in a coherent way by the same tool :)

That sounds great @stuartmorgan!

I agree with @Drakirus about not interfering with the directory layout. Other directories in a flutter project are "owned" by other tools. Inside the go directory (now still desktop) we can do what we want without much chance of conflicts.

Closing this issue, we'll stick with the go folder for now.
