Nikhil Ramakrishnan 1fd3148713 [docwriter] Drop support for Python < 3.5.
Python versions < 3.5 have reached end-of-life and as such, no
security or bug fixes will be provided for those versions.  See

  https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches

for more information.

* Jamfile (RefDoc): Add `site' parameter.

* builds/detect.mk (std_setup): Update Python version requirement.

* builds/freetype.mk (refdoc-venv): Use pip as `python -m pip'.

* builds/unix/ax_compare_version.m4,
builds/unix/ax_prog_python_version.m4: Macros to detect Python
version.  New files.

* builds/unix/configure.raw: Check for Python >= 3.5 and remove
check for `pip'.

* docs/CHANGES, docs/INSTALL.GNU, docs/README: Updated.

After saying `make refdoc' or `make refdoc-venv' the `site/' directory
contains the FreeType API reference. You need Python >= 3.5 and pip to make
this target.
There are two ways to generate the documentation:
1. Using `make refdoc':
- Ensure `python' and `pip' are available.
- Install pip package `docwriter' with `pip install --user docwriter'.
- Make target with `make refdoc'.
- This target can be run offline once required packages are installed.
2. Using `make refdoc-venv' (requires internet access):
- Ensure `python', `pip' and Python package `virtualenv' are available.
- Make target with `make refdoc-venv'.
- This may or may not require internet access every time depending on
pip and system caching.
This also works with Jam: Just type `jam refdoc' in the main directory.
Some troubleshooting tips:
* Regularly run `pip install --upgrade docwriter' to check for updates which
may include bug fixes.
* `Docwriter' does not support Python 2. Ensure that Python >= 3.5 is
installed and available as `python3'/`python'.
* Ensure that `docwriter' is installed in the same Python target that
`make refdoc' uses (python3/python).
* If none of this works, send a mail to `freetype-devel@nongnu.org' or file
an issue at `https://github.com/freetype/docwriter/issues'.
