scripts: test_doc_build.py: make the script smarter

Most of the time, testing the full range of supported Sphinx
version is a waste of time and resources. Instead, the best is
to focus at the versions that are actually shipped by major
distros.

For it to work properly, we need to adjust the requirements for
them to start from first patch for each distro after the
minimal supported one. The requirements were re-adjusted to
avoid build breakages related to version incompatibilities.
Such builds were tested with:

	./scripts/test_doc_build.py -m -a "SPHINXOPTS=-j8" "SPHINXDIRS=networking netlink/specs" --full

Change the logic to pick by default only such versions, adding
another parameter to do a comprehensive test.

While here, improve the script documentation to make it easier
to be used.

DESCRIPTION = f"""
This tool allows creating Python virtual environments for different
Sphinx versions that are supported by the Linux Kernel build system.
Besides creating the virtual environment, it can also test building
the documentation using "make htmldocs".
If called without "--versions" argument, it covers the versions shipped
on major distros, plus the lowest supported version:
{DEFAULT_VERS}
A typical usage is to run:
{SCRIPT} -m -l sphinx_builds.log
This will create one virtual env for the default version set and do a
full htmldocs build for each version, creating a log file with the
excecuted commands on it.
NOTE: The build time can be very long, specially on old versions. Also, there
is a known bug with Sphinx version 6.0.x: each subprocess uses a lot of
memory. That, together with "-jauto" may cause OOM killer to cause
failures at the doc generation. To minimize the risk, you may use the
"-a" command line parameter to constrain the built directories and/or
reduce the number of threads from "-jauto" to, for instance, "-j4":
{SCRIPT} -m -V 6.0.1 -a "SPHINXDIRS=process" "SPHINXOPTS='-j4'"
