[New-bugs-announce] [issue30939] Sphinx 1.6.3 deprecation warning for sphinx.util.compat.Directive in docs builds

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily:

[..]/sphinx/util/compat.py:40: RemovedInSphinx17Warning: sphinx.util.compat.Directive is deprecated and will be removed in Sphinx 1.7, please use docutils' instead.
  RemovedInSphinx17Warning)

The solution is to import Directive directly from docutils.  PR to follow for master, needs to be cherrypicked to all maintenance branches and, ideally, all current security-only branches.
