Support Sphinx 7.x (#16460)

This is needed for the Debian package of mypy, as we package the docs
and we have upgraded to Sphinx 7.2.6 from 5.3.0 for the next release.
Thanks!

Bonus: Adjust many links to docs.python.org so that intersphinx can
connect them to local file for offline use.

     Crafting a single regular expression that excludes multiple files while remaining
