bpo-31036: Allow sphinx and blurb to be found automatically (#3440)

Rather than requiring the path to blurb and/or sphinx-build to be specified to the make rule, enhance the Doc/Makefile to look for each first in a virtual environment created by make venv and, if not found, look on the normal process PATH. This allows the Doc/Makefile to take advantage of an installed spinx-build or blurb and, thus, do the right thing most of the time. Also, make the directory for the venv be configurable and document the `make venv` target.

Building the docs
=================
You need to have `Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_ installed; it is the toolset
used to build the docs. It is not included in this tree, but maintained
separately and `available from PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Sphinx>`_.
The documentation is built with several tools which are not included in this
tree but are maintained separately and are available from
`PyPI <https://pypi.org/>`_.
* `Sphinx <https://pypi.org/project/Sphinx/>`_
* `blurb <https://pypi.org/project/blurb/>`_
The easiest way to install these tools is to create a virtual environment and
install the tools into there.
Using make
----------
A Makefile has been prepared so that on Unix, provided you have installed
Sphinx, you can just run ::
To get started on UNIX, you can create a virtual environment with the command ::
make venv
That will install all the tools necessary to build the documentation. Assuming
the virtual environment was created in the ``env`` directory (the default;
configurable with the VENVDIR variable), you can run the following command to
build the HTML output files::
make html
to build the HTML output files.
By default, if the virtual environment is not created, the Makefile will
look for instances of sphinxbuild and blurb installed on your process PATH
(configurable with the SPHINXBUILD and BLURB variables).
On Windows, we try to emulate the Makefile as closely as possible with a
``make.bat`` file.
To use a Python interpreter that's not called ``python``, use the standard
way to set Makefile variables, using e.g. ::
make html PYTHON=python3
On Windows, set the PYTHON environment variable instead.
To use a specific sphinx-build (something other than ``sphinx-build``), set
the SPHINXBUILD variable.
``make.bat`` file. If you need to specify the Python interpreter to use,
set the PYTHON environment variable instead.
Available make targets are:
* "clean", which removes all build files.
* "venv", which creates a virtual environment with all necessary tools
installed.
* "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing.
* "htmlview", which re-uses the "html" builder, but then opens the main page
