Jakub Turski 8a737d71fb Add an option to hard link files from static/ instead of copying. (#723)
* Add hard_link_static config option.

* Copy or hardlink file depending on an argument.

Modify the call sites for `copy_file` to account for the extra argument.

* Plug the config setting through to copy_file.

Don't apply the config option to theme's static directory.

* Update documentation.

* Backticks make no sense in this comment.

* Addressing PR comments.

* Be consistent with argument naming.

The default configuration will be enough to get Zola running locally but not more than that.
It follows the philosophy of only paying for what you need: almost everything is turned off by default.
To change the config, edit the `config.toml` file.
If you are not familiar with TOML, have a look at [the TOML Spec](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml)
to learn about it.
Only one variable - `base_url` - is mandatory, everything else is optional. You can find all variables
used by Zola config as well as their default values below:
```toml
# Base URL of the site, the only required config argument
base_url = "mywebsite.com"
# Used in RSS by default
title = ""
description = ""
# The default language, used in RSS
default_language = "en"
# Theme name to use
theme = ""
# Highlight all code blocks found
highlight_code = false
# Which theme to use for the code highlighting.
# See below for list of accepted values
highlight_theme = "base16-ocean-dark"
# Whether to generate a RSS feed automatically
generate_rss = false
# The number of articles to include in the RSS feed. Will include all items if
# not set (the default).
# rss_limit = 20
# Whether to copy or hardlink files in static/ directory. Useful for sites
# whose static files are large. Note that for this to work, both static/ and
# output directory need to be on the same filesystem. Also, theme's static/
# files are always copies, regardles of this setting. False by default.
# hard_link_static = false
# The taxonomies to be rendered for that site and their configuration
# Example:
# taxonomies = [
# {name = "tags", rss = true}, # each tag will have its own RSS feed
# {name = "categories", paginate_by = 5}, # 5 items per page for a term
# {name = "authors"}, # Basic definition: no RSS or pagination
# ]
#
taxonomies = []
# The additional languages for that site
# Example:
# languages = [
# {code = "fr", rss = true}, # there will be a RSS feed for French content
# {code = "it"}, # there won't be a RSS feed for Italian content
# ]
#
languages = []
# Whether to compile the Sass files found in the `sass` directory
compile_sass = false
# Whether to build a search index out of the pages and section
# content for the `default_language`
build_search_index = false
# A list of glob patterns specifying asset files to ignore when
# processing the content directory.
# Defaults to none, which means all asset files are copied over to the public folder.
# Example:
# ignored_content = ["*.{graphml,xlsx}", "temp.*"]
ignored_content = []
# A list of directories to search for additional `.sublime-syntax` files in.
extra_syntaxes = []
# Optional translation object. The key if present should be a language code
[translations]
# You can put any kind of data in there and it
# will be accessible in all templates
[extra]
```

If you want a theme not on that list, please open an issue or a pull request on the [Zola repo](https://github.com/getzola/zola).
