Hi. Currently we ship

  /usr/share/doc/python-numpy-doc/swig/numpy.i.gz

But this isn't documentation. It's a header that is used by swig. A swig
definition might want to

  %include "numpy.i"

See the documentation:

  https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/swig.interface-file.html

I think it makes sense to ship this file with all the other headers,
which are currently shipped here:

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/

If we want to differentiate the swig-ness of this file, we can instead
ship it here:

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/swig

I think it former is better, though: one less headache for users.

Thanks!
