.gitlab-ci.yml: forced pip3 install Sphinx 1.7.9
The theme we use in our docs "sphinx_rtd_theme"
Does not support the latest version of Sphinx (>1.8)
This results in search functionality failing

Fixing: Search functionality in the Documentation has stopped working

Closes #681

See merge request !848

If Sandbox.run() is never called, sandbox config is irrelevant. If it is
called, the build will fail anyway with the dummy sandbox.

This matches the logic in the Darwin platform.

This will take care of silencing the status messages while checking submodules.

The source fetchers might be a list or a generator, when it is
a generator (like the git source does), then we want to ensure that
we silence the status messages which might occur as a result of
consuming a source fetcher from the generator.

This fixes the logs to be less verbose.

The code was creating the cwd folder but when the workspace was
mounted in to the buildroot it was hiding the folder created in it
behind the bind mounted workspace.

However by using the bubblewarp `--dir` directive to ensure that cwd
exists we can cover both workspace and non workspace situations with
the same method.

Build stream was only creating command-subdir for non workspace builds
this has now been fixed, and this regression test should support the
feature.

Adding the conf-root variable makes creating out of source builds
slightly easier.

Three examples covering out of source builds for:
 * basic autotools
 * basic cmake
 * autotools from a folder inside the source folder

This is also the first cmake example.
