Mauro Carvalho Chehab d5afc9640a docs: update recommended Sphinx version to 2.4.4
There are some docs that have nested tables. While this was
always part of the spec, only Sphinx version 2.4.x can
translate it to LaTeX.

In other words, if someone is using a Sphinx version < 2.4,
the LaTeX and PDF output won't work for some of the docs.

So, it seems that it is time to raise the bar again
for the recommented version.

The Sphinx check script is already smart enough to keep
working, with older versions, warning the users that
an upgrade is recommended (and explaining how):

	Sphinx version 1.7.9
	Warning: It is recommended at least Sphinx version 2.4.4.
	Detected OS: Fedora release 31 (Thirty One).

	To upgrade Sphinx, use:

		/usr/bin/virtualenv sphinx_2.4.4
		. sphinx_2.4.4/bin/activate
		pip install -r ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt

Mauro Carvalho Chehab a700767a76 docs: requirements.txt: recommend Sphinx 1.7.9
As discussed at the linux-doc ML, while we'll still support
version 1.3, it is time to recommend a more modern version.

So, let's switch the minimal requirements to Sphinx 1.7.9,
as it has the "-jauto" flag, with makes a lot faster when
building documentation.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab fb947f3f47 sphinx-pre-install: use a requirements file
Instead of using 3 commands to install a virtualenv, use
a single one, reading the requirements from this file:

	Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt
