As promised, drop support for some ancient sphinx releases, along with a
lot of the cruft that was required to make that support work.

Recent versions of sphinx will emit messages like:
Documentation/sphinx/kerneldoc.py:103:
RemovedInSphinx20Warning: app.warning() is now deprecated.
Use sphinx.util.logging instead.
Switch to sphinx.util.logging to make this unsightly message go away.
Alas, that interface was only added in version 1.6, so we have to add a
version check to keep things working with older sphinxes.
