2.  Modifying intermediate file generation to create fig/rmd-* rather than fig/swc-rmd-*, since this template is used by other carpentries (not just SWC).

`generate_md_episodes()` is modified such that datasets storred into
_episodes_rmd/data/ needed to knit the episodes, are copied into
_episodes/data/, and are made available at the root of the site.

Only try building R files if there are some
