Add _include pages to sitemap_excludes to avoid duplicate content and "empty" search results

Documentation feedback

Pages that get included via :::{include} (e.g. https://cratedb.com/docs/guide/_include/card/timeseries-dask.html) are also visible in the sitemap, can we add them to sitemap_excludes for those pages so they don't show up (and thus also not show in search)?

• Page title: Time Series Fundamentals with CrateDB
• Page URL: https://cratedb.com/docs/guide/domain/timeseries/fundamentals.html
• Source: https://github.com/crate/cratedb-guide/blob/main/docs/domain/timeseries/fundamentals.md

Hi. Thanks for reporting.

Pages that get included [...] are also visible in the sitemap.

Yeah, bummer. In Sphinx, the regular way is to slap an "orphaned" tag into them, but the obstacle here is that this doesn't work well within included pages, iirc. We may want to try once more, and/or report that to upstream.

Can we add them to sitemap_excludes so they don't show up?

If that works for you, sure, please do. Thanks!
