Update doc README and remove old Makefile

The information in the README file in the doc directory was very out of
date and the Makefile referenced in it doesn't appear to work any more.

Our preferred doc build method is to stay consistent with using tox -e docs,
so removing the legacy build information and providing better details for
doc development.

Building the docs Cinder Development Docs
================= =======================
Dependencies Files under this directory tree are used for generating the documentation
============ for the Cinder source code.
Sphinx_ Developer documentation is built to:
You'll need sphinx (the python one) and if you are http://docs.openstack.org/developer/cinder/
using the virtualenv you'll need to install it in the virtualenv
specifically so that it can load the cinder modules.
:: Tools
=====
pip install Sphinx Sphinx
The Python Sphinx package is used to generate the documentation output.
Information on Sphinx, including formatting information for RST source
files, can be found in the `Sphinx online documentation
<http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/>`_.
Graphviz_ Graphviz
Some of the diagrams are generated using the ``dot`` language Some of the diagrams are generated using the ``dot`` language
from Graphviz. from Graphviz. See the `Graphviz documentation <http://www.graphviz.org/>`_
for Graphviz and dot language usage information.
::
sudo apt-get install graphviz
.. _Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org
.. _Graphviz: http://www.graphviz.org/
Use `make` Building Documentation
========== ======================
Just type make:: Doc builds are performed using tox with the ``docs`` target::
% make
Look in the Makefile for more targets.
Manually
========
1. Generate the code.rst file so that Sphinx will pull in our docstrings::
% ./generate_autodoc_index.sh > source/code.rst
2. Run `sphinx_build`::
% sphinx-build -b html source build/html
Use `tox`
=========
The easiest way to build the docs and avoid dealing with all
dependencies is to let tox prepare a virtualenv and run the
build_sphinx target inside the virtualenv::
% cd .. % cd ..
% tox -e docs % tox -e docs
The docs have been built
========================
Check out the `build` directory to find them. Yay!
