docs-rst: move Sphinx install instructions to sphinx.rst
The toolchain used by Sphinx is somewhat complex, and installing it should be part of the doc-guide. Move it out of changes.rst. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Sphinx
------
-The ReST markups currently used by the Documentation/ files are meant to be
-built with ``Sphinx`` version 1.3 or upper. If you're desiring to build
-PDF outputs, it is recommended to use version 1.4.6 or upper.
-
-.. note::
-
- Please notice that, for PDF and LaTeX output, you'll also need ``XeLaTeX``
- version 3.14159265. Depending on the distribution, you may also need to
- install a series of ``texlive`` packages that provide the minimal set of
- functionalities required for ``XeLaTex`` to work. For PDF output you'll also
- need ``convert(1)`` from ImageMagick (https://www.imagemagick.org).
-
+Please see :ref:`sphinx_install` in ``Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst``
+for details about Sphinx requirements.
