The scripts sage-sdist and sage-bdist create a directory within
$SAGE_ROOT/dist and then pack that directory in a tarball. The result is
that dist contains both the original directory as well as the tarball.
Currently, sage-rsyncdist removes this directory. Change the behaviour
such that it keeps the directory.

Use case: in the release management script, dist/sage-rsync would
contain all extracted spkgs. This would allow for an easy check that
every spkg (including the Sage library) is hg-clean, that there are no
uncommitted changes.

Making this a *blocker* for immediate *release-management* use (I doubt
anybody besides the release manager uses this script).
