With the new release of sphinx 3.1.0, nova pdf docs build
started failing with "! Dimension too large." error.
That started failing since 10th June when the requirement added
the new constraint for sphinx.
Seems like somewhere TeX memory is exhausted during the pdf
building (I think we are hitting this open sphinx bug[1]).
While reproducing it locally I found that our giant policy sample
file inclusion in pdf doc causing this error.

We did skip the sample policy file for pdf in
doc/source/configuration/index.rst but did not do that
in admin configuration file and it start giving the error now.
With this fix, sample policy file in admin config also is included
in html but not in pdf.
