[docs] [issue36007] python3.8 a1 - docs build requires sphinx 1.7 but uses a 1.8 feature

[Anthony Sottile]

New submission from Anthony Sottile <asottile at umich.edu>:

doctest `:skipif:` was added in https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/5273

Used here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blame/36433221f06d649dbd7e13f5fec948be8ffb90af/Doc/library/turtle.rst#L252-L253

Sphinx minimum version configured here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/36433221f06d649dbd7e13f5fec948be8ffb90af/Doc/conf.py#L44-L45

Should this be upped to 1.8 or should the :skipif: be removed?  My guess is the former, I'd be happy to contribute a patch

I hit this while packaging 3.8.0a1 for deadsnakes
