Alabaster commit 640273fd3ca7 ("Drop support for Python 3.8 and earlier") [1] bumps minimum Sphinx version to v3.4, which breaks htmldocs build due to version incompatibility with Sphinx version used in Linux kernel documentation (v2.4.4): ``` Sphinx version error: The alabaster extension used by this project needs at least Sphinx v3.4; it therefore cannot be built with this version. ``` Fix the build error by requiring alabaster version less than 0.7.14 (in other words, at most 0.7.13).

Is this patch OK for 6.8 material after v6.8-rc1 is released (as stabilizing fix)?
