[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] doc: import sphinx rtd doc theme when available

[John McNamara <john.mcnamara@intel.com>]

The ReadTheDocs theme is no longer available by default in
Sphinx versions >= 1.3.1 and if it isn't available then an
exception is raised. This patch imports the ReadTheDocs
theme when it is available and warns but proceeds when it
isn't.
