Subject: Documentation/sphinx: Fix Directive import error

From: Matthew Wilcox <[email protected]>

commit ff690eeed804f112242f9a0614eafdf559f9276a upstream.

Sphinx 1.7 removed sphinx.util.compat.Directive so people who have upgraded cannot build the documentation. Switch to docutils.parsers.rst.Directive which has been available since docutils 0.5 released in 2009.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083694
