Running doctests on an external package in Sage 10.8+

[Jacob Bond]

Previously (before Sage 10.8), I was able to run doctests on an external package using
`sage -t package_dir`
but with Sage 10.8+, `-t` is no longer a valid argument and `sage --help` doesn't seem to offer a similar capability. Is there a way to use Sage 10.8+ for running doctests on external packages?

Since then, there is a difference between the installed "sage" script,
and the one in the top level of the
Sage source directory. That is, with Sage installed from source, you can run
./sage -t (from the top level of the source tree) and it will work as before.

Thank you!  I have Sage installed from conda-forge, but looking at the "sage" script in the top level of the source directory, it ultimately calls bin/sage and passes any arguments.  So running <conda-env>/bin/sage -t <package-dir> should work (and seems to work).
