PDF files used by website are giving 404 errors

For example, on the rubric pages there is a link to the presentations rubric:

https://rhwhite.github.io/numeric_2022/rubrics/presentations_rubric.pdf

(also I copied the Makefile to do this for the schedules, so whatever the fix for rubrics is, I need to repeat it). I note the lines that I think should be doing this in the Makefile are:

Custom html target to rsync PDFs into $BUILDDIR after Sphinx has created it

html:
@$(SPHINXBUILD) -b html "$(SOURCEDIR)" "$(BUILDDIR)/html" $(SPHINXOPTS) $(O)
rsync -av rubrics/.pdf "$(BUILDDIR)/html/rubrics"
rsync -av schedules/.pdf "$(BUILDDIR)/html/schedules"

The cause of the problem is that the custom make target works for local builds, but the Actions workflow doesn't do make html.
So, the PDFs don't get copied in the giothub.io deployment.

I solved the problem for the schedules PDFs by moving the schedules/ directory to _static/schedules/ and adjusting the corresponding links in schedules.rst.

That works, but it puts the PDFs in a not so obvious place. I think that lack of obviousness will be worst for the rubrics PDFs unless we can put a Makefile or script in rubrics/ to put the PDF products of the .tex builds in _static/rubrics/.
