begin conversion to rst

This converts 2 of the reference documents to rst, and fixes the
tox.ini so that tox -e docs creates a pretty html version of these
documents. While the publish target location has still not been
sorted this moves the ball forward in generating nicer output
for the documents.

The incubation-integration-requirements document was intentionally
left out, because it's much more active, and we should decide this
is the right approach before we impose the merge conflicts on
everyone in flight.
