Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/sphinx: Fix Directive import error

The sphinx.util.compat Directive stuff was deprecated in the recent
Sphinx version, and now we get a build error.

Let's take a fallback to the newer one, from docutils.parsers.rst.

I'm no expert of sphinx nor python, so something might be wrong.
Please check it.
