python: publish sphinx docs to read the docs Background: This is a follow-up to the PR that adds sphinx docs. Read the Docs is a hosting platform for documentation, primarily Python docs. It supports builds at commit time as well as at specific git labels to support versioned docs. I have claimed the protobuf.readthedocs.io project and can add any Googlers who need access to be able to configure and trigger builds. https://readthedocs.org/projects/protobuf/builds/ It's also relatively easy to create a new project to test the documentation builds from a fork, such as https://readthedocs.org/projects/tswast-protobuf/builds/ About this change: Once web hooks are configured, Read the Docs will automatically build the docs for the latest changes on the master branch. I needed to update `python/setup.py` to support installation from the root of the repository because Read the Docs does not `cd python` before installing the protobuf package with `setup.py install`. To support this, I updated the file paths to use the absolute path to files. The `__file__` special variable comes in handy for this, as it provides the path to the `setup.py` file. A banner is added to the docs when published to readthedocs. This links to the official documentation and the future home of the stable API reference on googleapis.dev.
