Bug Description

pbr current drives sphinx by forcing several configuration settings from the top. The important ones are the version (since that is derived via git, and hard to derive otherwise) and project name (though that could be hard-coded in the conf.py). This "forcing" causes issues such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/pbr/+bug/1682467

We should create a sphinx extension within pbr that can be optionally enabled to override config settings that are not set by conf.py and that need to be set and can be derived by pbr.

This is more important now, given the recent changes in OpenStack's PTI [1]. Adjusting as necessary.
