doc: upgrade doc-build tools

Update the documentation for how to build ACRN documents
(tutorial/docbuild.rst) and the scripts/requirements.txt that lists the
tested configuration of python tools being used.

Previous merged commits have already been made to handle doc builds with
the previous (2.3 documented configuration and the new v2.4
configuration.
