[PATCH v2 07/14] docs: conf.py: extra cleanups and fixes

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Makes it more adehent with modern Sphinx LaTeX build setup as
defined at:

	https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/latex.html

There, it suggests:

1) to add: 'printindex'

    “printindex” call, the last thing in the file. Override if you want to generate
    the index differently, append some content after the index, or change the font.
    As LaTeX uses two-column mode for the index it is often advisable to set this
    key to r'\footnotesize\raggedright\printindex'.

This indeed solved a corner case on a distro where the index was not properly
generated.

2) to add at the main example:
         \PassOptionsToPackage{svgnames}{xcolor}

3) I got a corner case on one of the distros was using xindy to produce
   indexes. This ended causing the build logic to incorretly try to use
   T1 fontenc, which is not UTF-8 compatible.

   This patch adds:

        \PassOptionsToPackage{xindy}{language=english,codepage=utf8,noautomatic}

   to cover such case. It should be noticed that, as the config doesn't
   have \usepackage{xindy}, this will be used only if latexmk ends
   using xindy.
