I have disabled the PDF builds after merging #3124. It is probably something easy to fix, but is there a strong reason to keep building the PDF output?

Building on top of nipy#3119 and nipy#3129, this PR makes a deep revision of the
documentation:

  * Added a new ``build_docs`` job to CircleCI to test how it renders.
  * Minimized external machinery (under ``/tools/``) when building the
    documentation:

      1. Some minimal modifications to sphinx extensions (apidoc,
         napoleon) allow the generation of special documentation
         for nipype interfaces, as it used to be before this PR
      2. A new sphinx extension (``nipype.sphinxext.apidoc``) takes
         care of parsing and rendering inputs and outputs. They now
         look like the parameters/arguments of functions when formatted
         with numpydoc.

  * Revised the description of many interfaces and the documentation of
    the main class and the input/output specs.
  * Revised the structure of the navbar, separating out
    User-Guide/Examples, Interfaces-Index, and Devs' documentation.
  * Minimized the number of WARNINGS at documentation build to 5 (4 of
    them coming out from the auto-generated SEM tools).

A PDF is useful just as a single archivable object.

But are we keeping such archive? Would we like to start with it if not?

ReadTheDocs keeps old versions... We could also add the PDF to the releases, if we want to duplicate to GitHub.
