Subject: doc: replace use of environment variables with a generated config
X-Git-Tag: 0.31_rc0~137

doc: replace use of environment variables with a generated config

It is getting unwieldy to pass configuration options on the
sphinx-build command line, and I anticipate further use of
conditionals.

As far as I could tell, execing a string is the idiomatic way to
emulate include in Python.
