Subject: [PATCH] Fix the broken docs tox environment

tox -e docs runs "python setup.py build_sphinx", a command that came from
sphinx.setup_command. Sphinx removed it in 7.0 and test-requirements.txt pins
sphinx>=8.1.3, so the environment fails with:

    error: invalid command 'build_sphinx'

Runs the build documented in doc/README.md instead, and pulls in
doc/requirements-docs.txt. doc/source/conf.py imports recommonmark, which none
of the four requirements files tox already installs provides, so the
environment could not have worked even with the command fixed.

setup.cfg held only [build_sphinx] and [upload_sphinx], both settings for that
removed command, so it goes with them.

Also refreshes envlist, which still named py36 through py39. setup.py has
required 3.10 for a while now, and CI tests 3.10 through 3.14.
