It has been > 6 months since the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

The test suite uses features from the 1.2 release of qsymm.

Closes issue #300

Fixes the 'linkcheck' test. the scipy.org SSL certificate is
issued for '*.scipy.org', so sphinx reports a bad certificate
for 'scipy.org'. The 'wiggle' homepage has been down for a while,
so we point to the GitHub page instead.

Kwant no longer needs linking against Lapack directly, as
we use the Lapack provided by Scipy.

The basic idea remains the same, but should work much better now.  The
difference is that images/example.py.diff is now a patch with complete
context and becomes the authoritative source for both the visible flavor
of an example as well as for its figure-generating variant.  Both
tutorial/example.py and images/example.py are extracted from this file
by 'make html'.  Thanks to the complete context the diffs are quite
readable and may be modified directly.

Alternatively, one may also modify the generated scripts.  When
tutorial/example.py has been modified, it will be patched and saved as
images/example.py.  The patching is done using the tool 'wiggle' that
works much better than 'patch'.  If a conflict occurs, conflict markers
are added to the output file and its dated back to the dawn of time
(i.e. 1970) in order to mark the conflicts as not yet resolved.  After
resolving, 'make html' is simply run again.

Upon a successful execution of the figure-generating script the diff
gets recreated automatically, 'generate-diffs' no longer exists.

Add check for this in setup.py to avoid potentially confusing
tracebacks later.

Remove fixes for unsupported versions of numpy, scipy and matplotlib.

Older pytest does not have 'warns'.

In addition to basic updates to skip permanent redirect, remove an
obsolete reference to macports installation instructions on the main
website.

The CYTHON_TRACE macro can be now set in the build.conf file.

All C extensions are now treated on equal footing and can be configured
in "build.conf".  All the options known by Extension may be set now for
any extension individually and for all of them together (using the
[DEFAULT] section).

Summary of changes:
* Add a test for trailing whitespace, remove all trailling whitespace
* Add a test for broken URLs in docs, fix all broken URLs and permanent redirects
* Switch sphinx doc build to strict (warnings to errors) and nitpicky (broken links to warnings). Fix all sphinx warnings.
* Deploy docs from any commit to [kwant/kwant](https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/kwant) to https://test.kwant-project.org/doc/dev
* Deploy docs from any commit to master at kwant/kwant to https://kwant-project.org/doc/dev
* Deploy docs from any tag release tag (so anything that is vX.Y.Z) at kwant/kwant to https://kwant-project.org/doc/X.Y

I try to cleanly separate between information that should be part of the
Kwant source distribution (that is tied to a particular version of
Kwant), and generic information that is best presented on the website.
