[dune] [doc] Support for building the reference manual with Dune.
This is a reduced version of #8503 as to provide a way to build the reference manual with Dune. Dune 1.6 supports (experimentally) directories as targets, thus we introduce a rule that will call `sphinx` to build the manual. This only provides build, however generation of `.install` rules is not done, it will be hopefully addressed in #8503. Note that we set `expire: 1 month` for all the artifacts we build with Dune. IMHO this makes most sense as not to abuse Gitlab's hosting, however of course we could consider a different deployment strategy if wanted.

Coq's test-suite can be run with `dune runtest`.
