Publish for IIS changes to web.config location

[danroth27]

The publish-iis tool will now generate web.config files inside the root of your output, not in the web root (wwwroot).

This means that IIS will now need to be configured to point to the root of your site instead of the web root like it has up-to-now for ASP.NET Core.

Simplified Old Layout

/root
    /wwwroot/ <-- IIS physical path
        site.css
        web.config
    myapp.dll

In this case IIS would be configured to use /root/wwwroot as the root of your web application.

Simplified New Layout

/root <-- IIS physical path
    /wwwroot/
        site.css
    myapp.dll
    web.config

In this case IIS would be configured to use /root as the root of your web application.

This is the same web.config location and pysical path you would have used in your ASP.NET 4.x applications. Moving the web.config file location to the root of the application enables publishing of muliple applications using Web Deploy.

Your applications static content will still need to go in the web root (wwwroot in these examples). The static files middleware is what serves static content in your application and it will still only serve from the web root regardless of the physical path configured in IIS.
