RE: [PATCH v2 0/3] doc: build on Windows

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for allowing me to try these changes on both Linux & Windows. I was facing some hurdles in both environments.

On Linux I was facing
```
	Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/amd/vipin/dpdk/test/dpdk/doc/api/generate_doxygen.py", line 13, in <module>
    subprocess.run(doxygen_command, check=True, stdout=out)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 493, in run
    with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 858, in __init__
    self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 1580, in _execute_child
    executable = args[0]
IndexError: list index out of range
```

With some debugging this was root caused to `doxygen permission issue in the environment`. Re-running the `ninja -C build` with root user solved this for me.

For Windows I faced

```

    from packaging.version import Version
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging'

ERROR: Unhandled python exception
```

Checking for `packaging` in windows, the library is present
```
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\docs>pip3 install packaging
Requirement already satisfied: packaging in c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (21.3)
Requirement already satisfied: pyparsing!=3.0.5,>=2.0.2 in c:\users\administrator\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (from packaging) (3.0.7)
```

Running python directly gives success for package as
```
import packaging
dir(packaging)
['__about__', '__all__', '__author__', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__copyright__', '__doc__', '__email__', '__file__', '__license__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__', '__summary__', '__title__', '__uri__', '__version__']
```

So the problem is narrowed down `sys.path` variation as

```
Path from standalone run for call-sphinx-build.py: ['C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\docs\\buildtools', 'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\python310.zip', 'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\lib', 'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310', 'C:\\Users\\Administrator\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python310\\lib\\site-packages']

Path from ninja build for docs for call-sphinx-build.py: ['../buildtools', 'C:\\Program Files\\Meson\\base_library.zip', 'C:\\Program Files\\Meson\\lib-dynload', 'C:\\Program Files\\Meson']
```
