In the past, we had some manual version info in this file, but
apparently it never got updated past the 0.1 release (yay). The, in
4d5d10935 I changed this to retrieve the version information via PBR's
existing magic. That worked well, showing the abbreviated commit hash at
the footer on ReadTheDocs, but I don't think it was terribly useful:
- it was just a hash, nothing like the output of `git describe` (i.e.,
no tag info was there),
- it wasn't showing up in local docs builds which use the Alabaster
default theme.
Now, in 1b2eb9a5 I split the dependency handling. The idea was to make
sure that a "regular installation" would not pull the docs in
needlessly. Unfortunately, the way I set up the RTD builds, the common
dependencies were skipped, and as a result, the `pbr` package was not
available to RTD, and stuff failed.
I could have configured RTD to *also* install from the main deps, but I
don't think this is actually needed. Given that the version info is
rather subtle, let's skip it altogether. Instead, it's better to use
RTD's built-in features for switching between docs for a particular
release (via a git tag) and for the generic "master branch".

Fixes: 1b2eb9a5 (docs: separate out dependencies)
Image source: I took the existing banner, cropped it and resized to
200px width as per the theme docs.

It turns out that our current setup does not really support the `sdist`
Python packaging step. I'm trying to increase automation, both for
making releases for upload to pypi.org, and also for CI via Zuul. As it
turns out, Zuul comes with a set of predefined jobs which -- by default
-- use `tox`, and tox was having troubles dealing with our `setup.py`
because it also assumes that the `sdist` step works. It is also supposed
to:
- fix version number duplication in `setup.py`,
- fix version number duplication in Sphinx docs,
- prevent the need to write a `MANIFEST.in` manually.
TL;DR: insetad of having to deal with a ton of other creative
boilerplate, use tools for lazy people like me, and PBR ("Python Build
Reasonableness") appears to check the marks here.
