I spent some time delving through the Sphinx codebase.  The compat
version was added so you could use Directive with docutils 0.4 onwards.
docutils 0.5 onwards has Directive.  So as long as we're comfortable
mandating docutils from 2009, we're fine ;-)

I found a github page which implies that docutils.parsers.rst.Directive
was added 12 years ago (!) so we're probably safe to rely on it:

https://github.com/docutils-mirror/docutils/commit/9649abee47b4ce4db51be1d90fcb1fb500fa78b3

Again, I'm no pythonista, so I may have muddled this.

We also don't need 'directives' on this line as it was imported on the
previous line.

So this crossed my mind as well... and then I thought it'll probably
succeed on older Sphinx, and the fallback is not needed. The question
is, are these equal? Can we just import from docutils.parsers.rst?

I'm sorry I don't have the time to find the answers to these questions
as well. :(

[PATCH v2] Documentation/sphinx: Fix Directive import error

[Takashi Iwai]

The sphinx.util.compat for Directive stuff was deprecated in the
recent Sphinx version, and now we get a build error.

Let's import from the new place, docutils.parsers.rst, while keeping
the old sphinx.util.compat as fallback.
