Description of proposed changes

In #695, we switched our version manager from versioneer to setuptools-scm.

When building source distributions (sdist), the default behavior was only including files as listed in Python packaging guide. However, setuptools_scm's behavior is to include all files tracked by git (see https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm#file-finders-hook-makes-most-of-manifestin-unnecessary), and it seems there is no way to disable it (pypa/setuptools_scm#516).

So, instead of listing files that should be included in the source distributions, now we need to explicitly exclude some files from the source distributions.

Here is the list of files in pygmt v0.2.1 (https://pypi.org/project/pygmt/0.2.1/#files):

You can run python setup.py sdist to build source distributions and check the tarball in the dist directory.

Fixes #904.
