Build matrix fixes (#1338)

* Add new Sphinx versions to tox test matrix, but do not allow docutils >= 0.17 on Sphinx>=4.3

* Stop py2 and py27 support from sphinxlatest because of build breakage

* Circle CI: Repeat sphinx versions for Python 2.7 (pending adjustments)

* tox.ini config: Ensure that we are getting the expected Sphinx version
