Remove m2r dependency from docs

[SigmaX]

We're using the m2r Sphinx plugin to pull our README.md into the docs' "Quickstart Guide" page. Handy.

Unfortunately, m2r is in archive mode, and recent updates to Sphinx have deprecated an argument that breaks people's docs builds if they use m2r: sphinx-doc/sphinx#7420

We should seek an alternative, or be content to maintain a separate README and quickstart guide.

Any update on this? I'm not sure how to fix my build now.

Hi @wlievens — for our project here, we're probably going to just stop using m2r entirely. Looks like people over on the Sphinx thread have figured out a fix, though, so you might check out the comments there: sphinx-doc/sphinx#7420

Thanks for the info. I got it to work eventually.
