[PATCH v3 14/16] sphinx: require sphinx 7.2.6

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Make the extraordinary leap from Sphinx 3.4.3 to Sphinx
7.2.6. Simplifications and cleanup will follow in subsequent patches.

Note that CentOS Stream 9 only ships a version of Sphinx that runs on
Python 3.9, so regardless of the version of Sphinx we require, if we
require Python 3.10+, CentOS Stream 9 will be unable to build QEMU
documentation in an isolated offline build environment.

CentOS Stream 9 continues to be able to build documentation so long as
PyPI access is permitted during configure, or if the requisite PyPI
packages are installed prior to configure time.
