Following on from astropy/astropy-helpers#161, which added an alias to the build_sphinx command to simply build_docs, change references to build_sphinx in the documentation to the less cryptic-looking build_docs.

We shouldn't jump the gun on merging this PR yet. For one, Astropy hasn't even updated the astropy-helpers submodule to point to a version that includes this alias. And even once that happens this could be confusing for contributors working on older branches of astropy, or to contributors to affiliated packages that have not yet updated astropy-helpers (though I did add a note in the developer docs to try build_sphinx if build_docs doesn't work).

Just front-loading this PR so that it's ready for when we feel it's safe to make the switch.

One of the travis builds failed for no particular reason. We should really figure out how to get docs-only builds working in Travis, hmm...

👍 from me - as you said the failure is a red herring so this is fine and I'll go ahead and merge.

This wasn't supposed to be merged yet. See the note:

And the milestone: Future

Not sure what to do--if others are fine with it I'll just leave it and mark it as v1.1. Otherwise if more people agree it should be held off on I can revert. I'm mostly fine either way, though I felt like it was better to wait on this.
