[docs] [issue35472] python 3.7.2 rc1 bumped the build requirements for no reason

[Matthias Klose]

New submission from Matthias Klose <doko at debian.org>:

python 3.7.2 rc1 bumped the build requirements apparently for no reason, now requiring sphinx 1.7 instead of 1.6.x before.  This is a major pain, if you want to provide the build including the documentation on a stable release.  Pretty please can we avoid such version bumps on the branches?

Plus the documentation seems to build fine with 1.6.7.
