Commit 31abfdda6527 (docs: Deprecate use of Sphinx < 2.4.x) in 6.2 added a
warning that support for older versions of Sphinx would be going away.
There have been no complaints, so the time has come. Raise the minimum
Sphinx version to 2.4.4 and clean out some compatibility code that we no
longer need.

Only change since v1 is setting the recommended version to 3.4.3, as
seems to be the consensus for the best choice.
