Fix make cleandocs by deleting the generated .rst files.

I haven't check but I _think_ that just deleting $(YNL_INDEX) is enough
here, since $(YNL_INDEX) depends on $(YNL_RST_FILES).
I think removing all of them is the right thing to do.

So this seems worth doing ... except that there has been talk about not
depositing those files into the source tree in the first place. Adding
Vegard and Breno to see if they have any thoughts on the matter...
Agree. This is definitely worth doing.
Agree too.
I'll have a look into putting those files in the build directory, this
patch shouldn't affect that.
