Issue:
StaticFilesConfig and virtual directories
I'm trying to write a ``FileSystemProtocol`` to load files from the package data using [importlib_resources](https://importlib-resources.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using.html#). But because ``directories`` is defined as ``DirectoryPath``, pydantic checks if the given directories exist in the local filesystem. 

This is not generally true, especially in any kind of virtual filesystem (e.g. a zipped package). I think this condition should be relaxed to support virtual filesystems.

https://github.com/starlite-api/starlite/blob/9bb6dcd57c10a591377cf8e3a537e9292566d5b9/starlite/config/static_files.py#L32


Discussion:
I agree. Do you want to submit a PR?
