Commit 31abfdda65 (docs: Deprecate use of Sphinx < 2.4.x) in 6.2 added a
warning that support for older versions of Sphinx would be going away.
There have been no complaints, so the time has come. Raise the minimum
Sphinx version to 2.4.4 and clean out some compatibility code that we no
longer need.

The sphinx-pre-install supports installing sphinx via a virtual
environment using pip/pypi or directly from the distribution's
package, when --no-virtualenv is used.
However, even when --no-virtualenv, the current logic is
still recomending to install a virtual env, due to a regression.
It turns that the logic there is complex, as it depends on
several different conditions.

functions, in order to clean up the code.

The sphinx-pre-install script will put out a verbose message recommending
an upgrade for anybody running less than 2.4.4 - which was only released in
March. So *everybody* will see that warning at this point. Let's only
warn if the user is below our generally recommended version (1.7.9
currently).
It might be good to put out a warning if people are explicitly making PDF
files, but would need to be done in a different place and relatively few
people do that.

When the script detects the need for an upgrade, it will
print either a warning or a note.
Let's change a little bit the order where messages will be
displayed, in order to make easier for the user to identify
the more important messages.
It should now be like this:
Detected OS: Fedora release 31 (Thirty One).
Sphinx version: 1.7.9
Note: It is recommended at least Sphinx version 2.4.4 if you need PDF support.
To upgrade Sphinx, use:
/usr/bin/python3 -m venv sphinx_2.4.4
. sphinx_2.4.4/bin/activate
pip install -r ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt

With Ubuntu 16.04 (and presumably Debian distros of the same age),
the instructions for setting up a python virtual environment should
do so with the python 3 interpreter. On these older distros, the
default python (and virtualenv command) might be python2 based.
Some of the packages that sphinx relies on are now only available
for python3. If you don't specify the python3 interpreter for
the virtualenv, you get errors when doing the pip installs for
various packages
Fix this by adding '-p python3' to the virtualenv recommendation
line.

Call the script every time a make docs target is selected, on
a simplified check mode.
With this change, the script will set two vars:
$min_version - obtained from `needs_sphinx` var inside
conf.py (currently, '1.3')
$rec_version - obtained from sphinx/requirements.txt.
With those changes, a target like "make htmldocs" will do:
1) If no sphinx-build/sphinx-build3 is found, it will run
the script on normal mode as before, checking for all
system dependencies and providing install hints for the
needed programs and will abort the build;
2) If no sphinx-build/sphinx-build3 is found, but there is
a sphinx_${VER}/bin/activate file, and if
${VER} >= $min_version (string comparation), it will
run in full mode, and will recommend to activate the
virtualenv. If there are multiple virtualenvs, it
will string sort the versions, recommending the
highest version and will abort the build;
3) If Sphinx is detected but has a version lower than
$min_version, it will run in full mode - with will
recommend creating a virtual env using sphinx/requirements.txt,
and will abort the build.
4) If Sphinx is detected and version is lower than
$rec_version, it will run in full mode and will
recommend creating a virtual env using sphinx/requirements.txt.
In this case, it **won't** abort the build.
5) If Sphinx is detected and version is equal or righer than
$rec_version it will return just after detecting the
version ("quick mode"), not checking if are there any
missing dependencies.
Just like before, if one wants to install Sphinx from the
distro, it has to call the script manually and use `--no-virtualenv`
argument to get the hints for his OS:
You should run:
sudo dnf install -y python3-sphinx python3-sphinx_rtd_theme
While here, add a small help for the three optional arguments
for the script.

RHEL 7.x and clone distros are shipped with Sphinx 1.1.x,
with is incompatible with Kernel ReST markups.
So, on those systems, the only alternative is to install
it via a Python virtual environment.
While seeking for "pip" on CentOS 7.3, I noticed that it
is not really needed, as python-virtualenv has its version
packaged there already. So, remove this from the list of
requirements for all distributions.
With regards to PDF, we need at least texlive-tabulary
extension, but that is not shipped there (at least on
CentOS). So, disable PDF packages as a whole.
Please notice, however, that texlive + amsmath is needed for
ReST to properly handle ReST ".. math::" tags. Yet, Sphinx
fall back to display the LaTeX math expressions as-is, if
such extension is not available.

Add support for detecting and installing missing packages
on Mageia. I opted to use "urpmi" at the install instructions,
as this is present on Mageia since ever. Yet, if I were using
Mageia 6, I would likely be using "dnf", as it is, IMHO,
easier to use.
Tested with Mageia 6.
