Now that the latex_documents are handled automatically, we can
remove those extra conf.py files.

Now that we can mark up function() automatically, there is no reason to use
:c:func: and every reason to avoid it.  Adjust the documentation to reflect
that fact.

There's a paragraph that explains how to create fixed width text block,
but it doesn't explains how to create fixed width text inline, although
this feature is really used through the documentation. Fix that adding a
quick note about it.

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.

<content type='text'>
On almost all places, we're including ReST files without the
extension.

Let's remove the extension here as well, in order to use just
one standard.

(1) The command to generate man pages is truncated in the pdf version
of the document.  Reformat the command into multiple lines to prevent
the truncation.

(2) Older versions of git do not support all variants of pathspec
syntax.  Provide commands to generate man pages for various
alternate syntax.

While using this guide to learn the new documentation method, I saw
a few phrases that I felt could be improved. These small changes
improve the grammar and choice of words to further enhance the
installation instructions.
