Loose files with path manipulation applied.
Allows you to relocate the files at runtime to something more convenient than their actual paths in your project.
For example, you can relocate `src/resources/project1/data.json` to instead be `resources/data.json`. Your other target types can then add this target to their `dependencies` field, rather than using the original `files` target.

To replace a prefix:
Backend: <span style="color: purple"><code>pants.core</code></span>
## <code>dest</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str</code></span> <span style="color: green">required</span>
The new prefix that you want to add to the beginning of the path, such as `data`.
You can set this field to the empty string to avoid adding any new values to the path; the value in the `src` field will then be stripped, rather than replaced.
## <code>files_targets</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str]</code></span> <span style="color: green">required</span>
Addresses to the original `file` and `files` targets that you want to relocate, such as `['//:json_files']`.
Every target will be relocated using the same mapping. This means that every target must include the value from the `src` field in their original path.
## <code>src</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str</code></span> <span style="color: green">required</span>
The original prefix that you want to replace, such as `src/resources`.
You can set this field to the empty string to preserve the original path; the value in the `dest` field will then be added to the beginning of this original path.
## <code>description</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A human-readable description of the target.
Use `./pants list --documented ::` to see all targets with descriptions.
## <code>tags</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Arbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run `./pants --tag='integration_test' test ::` to only run on targets with that tag.
