Brad King 34ea1f1520 Utilities/Sphinx: Add option to build 'text' format
Add SPHINX_TEXT to enable the Sphinx 'text' builder.  Mark it as
advanced and do not add install rules.  This is intended for use
by the release manager to build the release notes in text format
suitable for email.

Brad King 3bade75b02 Help: Parse Copyright.txt instead of using current year
Configure our Sphinx conf.py with a copyright line extracted from
Copyright.txt instead of using the year in which the documentation is
built.  This will future-proof the reported copyright year range when
building documentation for old versions.

Brad King edc7cc967d Help: Configure copyright year automatically
Teach our Sphinx conf.py to compute the copyright end year
automatically.  Drop our hard-coded configuration for it.

Brad King f88332f5b7 Help: Glob manual/*.rst in Sphinx configuration
Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each
Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically
generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value.  This reduces the
number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.

Brad King 10ef247b88 Configure Utilities/Sphinx for standalone build with CTest
Include the CTestUseLaunchers module in the standalone build of
Utilities/Sphinx so that it can be built under CTest with the
CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option.

Brad King bfe07aa97e Build Help documentation during CMake build using Sphinx
Add a Utilities/Sphinx directory to hold CMake build code to run the
Sphinx (sphinx-doc.org) documentation generation tool.  Create a
CMakeLists.txt file there capable of building either as a subdirectory
of the main CMake build, or as a standalone documentation build.

Add cache options SPHINX_MAN and SPHINX_HTML to select output formats
and SPHINX_EXECUTABLE to specify the sphinx-build executable.  Add
bootstrap options --sphix-man and --sphinx-html to select output formats
and --sphinx-build=<sb> to specify the sphinx-build executable.

Create a "conf.py.in" file to configure_file into "conf.py" to tell
sphinx-build how to build our documents.  Create a "cmake.py" Sphinx
extension module defining:

* The "cmake-module" directive used in Help/module/*.rst files to
  scan .rst markup from the corresponding Modules/*.cmake file.

* A Sphinx domain called "cmake" defining documentation object types
  for CMake Help/<type> directories: command, generator, manual,
  module, policy, prop_*, and variable.  Add a "role" for each type
  to perform cross-references.  Teach the roles to treat "<XYZ>"
  as placeholders instead of explicit targets if not preceded by
  a space.  Add cmake domain directives to define command and
  variable objects explicitly in .rst file content.  This will
  allow modules to define their own commands and variables and
  have them indexed and linkable.

* A Sphinx document transform that converts Help/<type>/*.rst documents
  into cmake domain objects of the corresponding <type> and adds index
  entries for them.  This will automatically index all CMake documentation
  objects and provide cross-reference targets for them with no special
  markup in the .rst files.
