[3.2.x] Refs #33247 -- Corrected configuration for Read The Docs.

This pins Sphinx version, because the default Sphinx version used by
RTD is not compatible with Python 3.8+.

This also, sets Python 3.8 for RTD builds which is compatible with all
current versions of Django.

Thanks to Mariusz Felisiak for the suggestion.

Backport of 447b6c866f0741bb68c92dc925a65fb15bfe7995 from main.
