[PATCH v4 14/14] docs: conf.py: properly handle include and exclude patterns

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

When one does:
	make SPHINXDIRS="netlink/specs" htmldocs

the build would break because a statically-defined pattern
like:

	include_patterns = [
		...
		'netlink/specs/*.yaml',
	]

would be pointing to Documentation/netlink/specs/netlink/specs,
as the path there is relative. Also, when SPHINXDIRS is used,
the exclude_pattern = [ "output" ] is also wrong.

Fix conf.py to generate relative include/exclude patterns,
relative to the SOURCEDIR sphinx-dir parameter.
