Subject: [PATCH] Move store metadata out of source tree (#8601)

### Description

Move store metadata out of source tree. Running Triple-T publisher
always complains about our custom folders (screenshot creator script).
Move everything out of the actual Triple-T metadata folder and symlink
only the necessary ones instead.
