Clean Up Sphinx Warnings

[WillAyd]

A fresh build of the docs locally yields all of the below warnings:

I believe these are just removed features and we should probably just remove from the docs as well

[jorisvandenbossche]

The doc build on CI is completely warning free (see eg https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/runs/394455775), or should be at least (unless it doesn't print such warnings for some reason).
What version of sphinx are you using?

[WillAyd]

Locally I have sphinx 2.3.1 which matches the CI build link. I get a huge amount of warnings locally, so much so that I couldn't paste them into the Details above

Any chance you've tried locally?

[alimcmaster1]

Yeah @WillAyd I get the same, I can potentially take a look

[WillAyd]

Great! Sure can start with that if it helps

[jorisvandenbossche]

Do you still see those warnings locally?
