Cloning doesn't properly copy the _static doc directory

[hivert]

When cloning Sage (eg: for combinat), the doc is copied but not properly:
Before the clone in doc/output/html/en/reference/numerical there is a symlink _static to ../_static. After the clone, it is an empty directory. Also the directories such as

doc/en/reference/algebras/sage
doc/en/reference/calculus/sage
...

are note copied at all.

I think this patch will fix the problem. I also think that the sage-clone script could use some attention in general, but now is not the time.

I'm testing this patch currently but I think I'll give it positive review.

Hum ! The problem of copying the _static directory is fixed but there is another one: There is a lot of

WARNING: toctree contains reference to nonexisting document '...'

and indeed the doc is empty. This should also be fixed. I'm investigating for the cause.

Ok ! I think I got it. During cloning the directories such as

doc/en/reference/algebras/sage
doc/en/reference/calculus/sage
...

are note copied. Sorry I have to go to bed... I'll fix this tomorrow if no one beats me.

I wonder if we should (on another ticket, like #13245) also disable docbuilding altogether when cloning...
