Update Sphinx to version 2 and drop Python 2 support from Sphinx

The version 2.0.x of Sphinx, popular Python documentation generator and framework, is expected to be released in early 2019. It drops support for Python 2. As part of Finalizing Fedora's Switch to Python 3, we update python-sphinx to 2.0.x and we drop python2-sphinx and related packages from Fedora 31 and further.

Improved GRUB menu

Improve the GRUB menu by only having the default boot option for each installed operating system in the main menu, and the other options into a sub-menu. This would better organize the boot options and lead to an easier and seamless boot experience.
