We used recommonmark so that we can use markdown in sphinx but it is
buggy and now so switch to better supported MyST-parser.
* Fixed incorrect heading warnings in markdown.
* Added sphinx toctree to markdown using directive as required by MyST.
* Upgraded Sphinx to 4.3
Ref: https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io
* Error occurring with Pytest 5.4 so pin to below that version.
* Fix minor issues with Travis config.
* Use full command-switches for pytest in tox config.
* Remove pin for pip as issue with pip-wheel-metadata was fixed in 19.3
* Remove tox-venv as causing issues of incompatible packages installed.
The latest versions of the virtualenv package should handle these
duties.
- Change the layout and contents of docs to be better organised and
follow ideas from: https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation/
- Use markdown for non-technical documents to speed up writing.
- Added new sections and imported documents from Trac wiki.
Build fixes:
- Added a patch to fix recommonmark 0.4 and doc referencing:
https://github.com/rtfd/recommonmark/issues/93
- Set docs build in tox to Py2.7 since there are problems with autodoc
mocking multiple inheritance on Python 3 resulting in metaclass errors.
- Supressed warning about `modules.rst` not in the toctree by creating
a static `modules.rst` with `:orphan:` file directive and add to git.
Also skip creating this toc file with sphinx-apidoc in setup and tox.
- Simplified finding exported RPC and JSON API methods by adding an
autodoc custom class directive. Removed unneeded __rpcapi.py.
