The 4.x branch of Sphinx introduces a breaking change, as generated man pages are now written to subdirectories corresponding to the manual section they belong to. This results in `make install` erroring out when attempting to install the man pages, because they are not where it expects to find them.
This patch restores the behavior of Sphinx 3.x regarding man pages.
