[sphinx] Restore document generation/cleaning feature and document config vars
I have noticed that most commands from the sphinx layer stopped working while
I was working on the restructured text layer.

This commit tries to jurry rig this package back into a working state.
It does not solve all issues we have in this package to do so a major
rewrite would be in order.

I have fixed:
- An endless loop caused by a failing search for a conf.py
- Fixed all compile commands
- Add a more detailed description of the meaning of the necessary config
variables in the doc.

* Description
The layer adds support for the documentation generation system =Sphinx= to
the =restructuredtext= layer.
** Features:
- Support for =Sphinx= project compilation
- Support for opening =Sphinx= project target
- Support for opening =Sphinx= config file
* Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =sphinx= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list
in this file.
* Configuration
** Sphinx target
To use the layer's Sphinx feature, the following variables should be set.
A parent directory is needed for all your Sphinx project builds:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(sphinx :variables
rst-sphinx-target-parent "~/MyProjects/")
#+END_SRC
Create a directory in the parent directory for each Sphinx project.
This will be used as the project name for the layer. In addition
you need to define where the output folder should be for each project.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(sphinx :variables
rst-sphinx-target-parent "~/MyProjects/"
rst-sphinx-target-projects
'(("project1" . (latex "project1/_build"))
("project2" . (html "project2/_build"))))
#+END_SRC
** Web browser
Set the browser for viewing the HTML page of current rst file. This one
is optional. If not set, the default browser will be used.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(sphinx :variables
rst-slides-program "chromium")
#+END_SRC
