Exclude doc/ from wheel

[penguinpee]

The automatic discovery adds doc/ to the wheel triggered by the
presence of conf.py in that directory.

Alternatively, disabling namespaces also works: find = {namespaces = false} instead of find {}.

Thanks for that @penguinpee. We're discussing changing our packaging practices to remove all of these from our built packages here: fatiando/community#154

In your case the file is already claimed by codepy. I looked at the sdist from PyPI and codepy is making the same mistake by using packages=find_namespace_packages() in setup.py, which adds doc as a top level module with conf.py in it.

That should be reported to codepy upstream. For now you could apply this PR as a patch to pooch allowing you to get on with the installation.

I will do it, many thanks for the feedback.
