`get_url` doesn't account for `render = false`

Bug Report

Consider the following structure:

├── content
│   └── pages
│       ├── about
│       │   ├── picture.jpg
│       │   └── index.md
│       └── _index.md

_index.md:

+++
render = false 
+++

get_url(path="/pages/about/picture.jpg") returns $BASE_URL/pages/about/picture.jpg, but the picture is located at public/about/picture.

Environment

Zola version: 0.14.0

Expected Behavior

get_url return reachable URL ($BASE_URL/about/picture.jpg)

Current Behavior

get_url return unreachable URL ($BASE_URL/pages/about/picture.jpg)

Step to reproduce

Create said structure, call get_url.

Hm, though the same problem occurs with static/... Maybe I don't understand what get_url is supposed to do?..

I stumbled here while using get_url to retrieve a static asset. My issue is not related to render = false though.

get_url documentation says:

This can also be used to get the permalinks for static assets, for example if we want to link to the file that is located at static/css/app.css:

{{ get_url(path="static/css/app.css") }}

though, this is not working because if I do so, the returned URL is (in zola serve) http://127.0.0.1/static/css/app.css, which is not correct since the static content will be placed in the root.

In the file searching logic section, it is mentioned this:

Search in the following locations in this order, returning the first where the file exists:

$base_directory + $path
$base_directory + "static/" + $path
$base_directory + "content/" + $path
$base_directory + $output_path + $path
$base_directory + "themes" + $theme + "static/" + $path (only if using a theme)

In the example, $base_directory + $path where $path = static/css/app.css is correct and finds the file, but the produced URL is not correct.

For get_url with assets you're meant to pass css/app.css without the static name in it so {{ get_url(path="css/app.css") }} which should generate the right path. The documentation probably needs to be updated
