Subject: [PATCH] docs: pdfdocs: Adjust \headheight for fancyhdr

Fancyhdr prior to v4.0 outputs a message per document as follows:

    Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt):
    Make it at least 13.59999pt.
    We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
    This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

Fancyhdr v4.0 complains (once a page!) as follows:

    Package fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt):
    (fancyhdr)    Make it at least 13.59999pt, for example:
    (fancyhdr)    \setlength{\headheight}{13.59999pt}.
    (fancyhdr)    You might also make \topmargin smaller to compensate:

    (fancyhdr)    \addtolength{\topmargin}{-1.59999pt}.

Related item in fancyhdr v4.0 announcement on 2021-01-04 [1]:

    Backward incompatible changes:
      - Eliminate adjustments of \headheight or \footskip, when the
        header or footer is too high.

Silence the warnings by adding a couple of \addtolength commands in
the preamble.

Hi,

This update doesn't have much visual effects in the final PDFs
(adjustment of only 1.6pt), but getting rid of harmless warnings
would help spot potential important ones.

Tested against Sphinx versions 2.4.4 and 4.2.0, with Tex Live
versions 2017/debian (Ubuntu 18.04), 2019/debian (Ubuntu 20.04),
and vanilla 2021 (as of 2021-10-08).

        Thanks, Akira
